I just mapped a "CVS", which is a store that sells lots of personal
hygiene stuff and has a real pharmacy (with a licensed pharmacist, who
can fill prescriptions signed by doctors). I used amenity=pharmacy
dispensing=yes, but find the description on the tag page confusing. I

What currently comes closest to what I want is an area with a

and you can't do everything with that.
I think what you really want is an implicit relation, where the road

There has been some discussion about what might be a similar problem on
talk-us, where different states have different signs on Interstate
highways.
I have a few questions; it might be good to explain the answers on the
tag proposal page. (I'm sure in .es the answers are obvious but I think

As you can see there is a roundabout, but there is also a dual
carriageway through the middle with the flow controlled by traffic
lights. If you are in the lanes which go through as the dual
carriageway you can't turn onto the roundabout, and if you are in
the lanes that lead onto the ro
Someone added amenity=food_outlets to the map features and even after
reading the comment "An area with several food outlets" I'm quite unsure
what this could be.
Is this a collection of several amenity=fast_food or a kind of

I share the discomfort of others about truly non-editable imported data.
I have found a number of errors in MassGIS data, although the vast
majority of it seems very good.
Two approaches come to mind:
1.
a. Have a way to have a separate database with such data.
b. Have a way to have w

I think it would be helpful to look into how the relevant professional
communities deal with this issue, and if at all possible adopt one of
their existing standards. It seems that there are multiple groups of
concern, certainly bicycling and cars.
In Massachusetts we have the MassGIS data, and

First of all, you should NEVER remove anything from the database,
unless you have made certain by your own eye that the object in
question is an error and not existing in reality! Even than take care
not to remove anything marked as abandoned or alike, that marks this

For government/bulk imports -where we know that updates are available;
how is it dealt with?

Sorry if this is on the wiki - I've tried to read the relevant parts.

Some of these show up on the map, mostly due to MassGIS bulk imports.

Is anyone mapping the positioning of these devices in the UK? I don't yet have

Is there an easy guide on how to contribute?
