I forgot to mention that linear ways do have an implied width. It can be
explicitly declared with the width tag. Although, other than waterways I
don't /think/ any renderers take advantage of it.

I had mapped, but forgotten to add the operator to the Inpost locker at
Morrisions. The only thing I have ever collected from Inpost are my two

On Wed,
Remember that features in OpenStreetMap are not only useful for finding
those features.
If you know a region has the pickup lockers all mapped, you could do
analysis such as density of their locations (do they favour more expensive
neighbourhoods, or how accessible are they by traffic-free cycle
Hi Dan,

Please forgive me if this is has been debated previously - I'm new here

A local mapper has added an Amazon "Hub Locker", tagged as

against Royal Mail data. My

I would do the same for the lane/track between farm fields, while it
