Hi
My local Morrisons supermarket has 2 sets, I have tagged
amenity=vending_machine
operator=InPost (2nd one has Amazon)
vending=parcel_pickup;parcel_mail_in (these machines often receive
parcels as well as deliver them)
location=indoor|outdoor could useful - i've just added this while writing
They don't render on the 'standard' map, but the data is there if anyone
wants to render
Happy Mapping New Year

Please forgive me if this is has been debated previously - I'm new
here and having trouble finding a searchable archive for this list.
A local mapper has added an Amazon "Hub Locker", tagged as
amenity=post_box. This causes it to flag as an anomaly when comparing
against Royal Mail data. My view is this is not a "post box" since it
forms part of delivery rather than collection arrangements.
However I can see there may be some benefit in mapping such
facilities, albeit anyone wanting to use it will need to make advance
arrangements with Amazon and chose from a list of locations. This is
a different situation to Royal Mail where there is no official "post
box finder" and one is at liberty to use any convenient box at any
time. Searching the OSM Wiki doesn't seem to provide any specific
guidance but hints that Amazon might be persuaded to contribute the
locations directly, since they are apparently both consumers and
contributors to OSM.
Arguably parcel drop-off points for Hermes and so forth might be
suitable for inclusion, though they're not a stand-alone feature but
part of facilities at a premises and again require advance action by
the user to select .
Is there existing policy/guidance/consensus and if not, what is the
best way to proceed?
Dan
