As far as my tool at https://osm.mathmos.net/pharmacy/progress/ is concerned, pharmacies are recognised as OSM objects tagged with either amenity=pharmacy or pharmacy=yes*. (The latter can be used on things like supermarkets and doctors surgeries, when things aren't mapped in enough detail to have a separate amenity=pharmacy node.) As for whether all Boots stores have pharmacies, I think most do, but some don't: https://www.boots-uk.com/about-boots-uk/about-boots/boots-in-numbers/ says there are 2,465 Boots stores, but in the General Pharmaceutical Council register of Pharmacies, there are only 2304 premises registered to 'Boots UK Limited'. Robert PS: I've just noticed that the data I'm using for my tool now contains a "Pharmacy Type" field. This means I can exclude internet only pharmacies, temporary locations (e.g. for events) and internal hospital and prisons pharmacies. This will hopefully make the comparison shown by the tool must more useful. * Because of the change to exclude hospital and prison pharmacies from the GPhC data, OSM objects with pharmacy=yes will only be picked up in my tool if they do not also have amenity=hospital or amenity=prison too. -- Robert Whittaker _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
