Yes, I've used highway=services for some rest stops on I-93 in NH: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=42.755158&lon=-71.220856&zoom=18&layers=M It looks like there is now a highway=rest_area that might be more appropriate for this particular rest stop without a refueling station. Of course, you should add amenity=fuel, shop=convenience and amenity=fast_food as appropriate within the rest area. > 2.

There's man_made=tower for things like mobile phone towers. Also, there's amenity=grit_bin, but that might not be what you mean by salt shed. I usually just trace the outline of things and put building=yes on them for miscellaneous service buildings. I add access=private for roads behind an "authorized vehicles only" sign. > or is there a process? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
