At least one location in Houston is drive-thru only; Sonic also had a food court location in Willowbrook Mall for a while. I am also having an issue with Walmart, should it be a Marketplace, Supermarket, Department store??? All 3 are used in OSM in Oklahoma. It should be the same as Target with a grocery store, unless it's a Walmart Neighborhood Market which is clearly just shop=supermarket. The last Walmart I tagged was shop=department_store but it probably should be shop=department_store;supermarket instead. -- Shawn K.

Re: [Talk-us] Misspelled names
The iD editor uses the Name Suggestion Index to suggest correct spellings and tags for common places. ( https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/blob/e3b1dafc0acea3e18543647920748962f849e204/canonical.json#L361 ) I've submitted a few pull requests, but haven't seen much activity on this project in the past year.

[Talk-us] Whole-US Garmin Map update - 2014-12-17
These are based off of Lambertus's work here: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl If you have questions or comments about these maps, please feel free to ask. However, please do not send me private mail. The odds are, someone else will have the same questions, and by asking on the talk-us@ list, others can benefit. Downloads: http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2014-12-17 Map to visualize what each file contains: http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2014-12-17/kml/kml.html FAQ Why did you do this? I wrote scripts to joined them myself to lessen the impact of doing a large join on Lambertus's server. I've also cut them in large longitude swaths that should fit conveniently on removable media. http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2014-12-17 Can or should I seed the torrents? Yes!! If you use the .torrent files, please seed. That web server is in the UK, and it helps to have some peers on this side of the Atlantic. Why is my map missing small rectangular areas? There have been some missing tiles from Lambertus's map (the red rectangles), I don't see any at the moment, so you may want to update if you had issues with the last set. Why can I not copy the large files to my new SD card? If you buy a new card (especially SDHC), some are FAT16 from the factory. I had to reformat it to let me create a 2GB file. Does your map cover Mexico/Canada? Yes!! I have, for the purposes of this map, annexed Ontario in to the USA. Some areas of North America that are close to the US also just happen to get pulled in to these maps. This might not happen forever, and if you would like your non-US area to get included, let me know. -- Dave ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
