I'm partial to tagging the shop/cafe as an area within the building. In a highstreet scenario, you might have a 3 storey terrace containing mostly flats, with cafes and Argos's on the ground floor. Very well, tag buildings as buildings, and tag the amenities as areas (likely most of the floorplan, except residential doors leading upstairs), and tag the doors as entrances.
Tagging the amenities as points within the building outline is certainly better than adding them to the doors, though. I'd call that plain wrong. I've done it that way for 43 to 79 West Ham Lane E15, for example - https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.53920/0.00438 --- https://hdyc.neis-one.org/?spiregrain [email protected] On Tue, 30 Jun 2020, at 4:53 PM, Cj Malone wrote: > >Personally, I don't like tagging the whole building as 'amenity=cafe' as it > >is only the downstairs of the building being used for that purpose, which > >is why they were nodes. > > I agree, it also means that shops on buildings sometimes have `level`, > which doesn't makes sense. > > >So, is there any downside to marking the entrance?
