I could see it for something like that where they're doing somewhat different things. I'd say that one is marginal, while in the case linked earlier, they were all offering the same service of picking up old vehicles. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

It's not okay - judging by the imagery and online results, there's only one company physically there that does business under multiple names.

[talk-au] Multiple web sites linked to car yard
This mapper has added about a dozen similar businesses to the same car wrecker yard. https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/freecarpickup/history#map=19/-33.93048/150.99878 I assume this is ok as they are linked to the same physical location. I find it a bit unusual and thought you may be interested. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
