Re: [Talk-GB] Quarterly project: Petrol stations

It looks like amenity=charging_station is documented in the wiki as only for nodes. As they don’t let you use your mobile phones or jump start cars on petrol station forecourts, I suspect that any charging stations will be positioned far enough from the pumps area that a separate node to

[Talk-GB] Nominatim and postcodes

I tried searching on OSM for a postcode, which I know exists, but it returned zero entries from Nominatim. Other postcode searches work fine. Can anyone tell me where Nominatim gets its data from for a postcode search, and how often it's updated? Mark

Re: [Talk-GB] Quarterly project: Petrol stations

A lot of industry players are working on forecourt style charging using circa 5minute high power chargers. See for example the recent shell announcement. When this happens then the ev charging points may look very similar to a regular petrol station. We don't map individual petrol pumps so

Re: [Talk-GB] Quarterly project: Petrol stations

It is something that will need looking at, can someone look at the Derby or London sites. The press releases mention 30 minutes and wifi which is certainly not compatible with a forecourt. Shell may see the site as a single object but in OSM terms it is several. Fuel, shop, parking etc. The
