Re: [Tagging] Fwd: Re: Towing service?
Why not use both tags, with landuse=depot on the parking area and office=towing on the office? After all, most towing services will have both. ---Original Email--- Subject :Re: [Tagging] Fwd: Re: Towing service?

After all, most towing services will have both. +1, depending on the size. In the case they have 1 truck, depot seems too much, maybe tagging them garage would be better then? cheers, Martin ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

The basic definition would be a service that tows cars and other light vehicles. Truck and other heavy vehicle towing would be a separate option. I propose: shop=towing [+ hgv=yes] For me, a shop would be to get in, buy something (or at least get some service done) and go out. That's not the case here. A towing service will get to your place to do something, much like the office of a plumber (which in most cases also wouldn't qualify for a shop). You might even won't be allowed to enter the area. Agreed. So other than don't tag it, can someone suggest what such a place should be tagged? Really, it's like any other sort of service-based business or office of some other kind of non-retail business. I wrote this before I realized there were other replies on this topic.
