I was playing around with OSM maps for my Garmin GPS. I have noticed that some polygons tagged as supermarket or fast_food were not rendered in my Garmin.
Therefore, when I am looking for something -let's say a fast food like McDo-, it shows me the closest McDo entered as a POI in the OSM database, altough another McDo exists closer. But this last one being entered in the database as a polygon, it does not show in the Garmin device. Both McDo are tagged the same way, altough one is a POI and the other is a polygon. Should we therefore favour POI instead of Polygons to enter places like restaurant, supermarkets, shops, etc. ? Thank you for your help. Do not hesitate to redirect me if the topic has been previously discuss. Sincerely, Xavier
