I think the reason why things like this happen is because the highway
tagging scheme in OSM was modeled off of UK's road-classification system
and really isn't compatible with the road-classification system in the US.
it is mainly the names that
Hi,
At past OSM meetups that I've organized, new mappers have asked me
what shop=* tags to use for several chain stores in the USA and I had
not found any clear or consistent practices of what tags to use for
these stores and even as a relatively experienced mapper, I wasn't
sure what tags to
Hi Everyone!
Just a reminder that the winter #editathon is just over 5 weeks away,
January, 18-19. We're still looking for locations, so feel free to get in
touch with me if you have any questions about hosting or planning an
in-person #editathon event.
Otherwise, go ahead and add your city to
Seems the stores you listed are going to have different tags, example the
'dollar' stores are probably best tagged shop=variety_store, the wiki has a
pretty extensive list/description of the shop tags here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:shop
However, I would say that K-Mart, Target, and
Personally, I tag big box stores like Target, KMart, WalMart etc with
shop=department_store, just because that seems like the closest fit that
isn't too restrictive (they're much more than a supermarket, to my mind).
You can pick an area and run Overpass Turbo and see what you get with
different
I don't know if it catches all the chains you are interested in, but Aaron
Lidman has been collecting the consensus tag schemes for various business
names for presets in iD. I think his current compilation is

I get this question a lot during mapping parties -- probably because I
suggest these sorts of places as a user's first edit.
I wonder if we should add presets to iD for these sorts of places with tons
of locations (Starbucks, McDonald's, etc.) so that they show up when
searched in the preset list
I'd tagged a Dollar General and a Family Dollar as
shop=convenience but based on Russ's comment decided
to change them to variety_store.
After I did that, I wondered what the predominate tagging
was. First cut was to use taginfo to find all the
objects with a name of 'Dollar General' (295 at this
Hey guys,
I‘ve tried to solve a mostly related problem in iD last month. I just blogged
about it here: https://www.mapbox.com/blog/common-names-in-id/
You can try it out in iD here: http://openstreetmap.us/iD/master
Just add geometry, and search for a really common name, like K-Mart,

Eric,
I think that could work. I think as long as the stroke color isn't similar to
the existing set of colors used to render ways in JOSM. Maybe purple or
something.
Just a thought.
Best,

Martin,
I agree with a lot of what you're saying about department stores, but
not with what you're calling supermarket. I think the wikipedia entry
for supermarkets is good, so will suggest you read that:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarket
We should create a general store type value, because Walmart,
Supertarget, etc are basically following the Fred Meyer model and Fred
Meyer never really stopped calling itself a genderal store until the Kroger
merger. Note, I'm only talking about the full-scale Fred Meyer locations

I know there's taginfo (including one for the US!

I'm excited about this location as it is a great place to showcase the

I don't know about you all in DC, but for me, it's been way too long since I've
been outside mapping. Expect there's lots of folks in DC who have only been
exposed to tracing. Sure, January is probably not the ideal time to do this,
but would love to think about where it might work.

Ian,
I had a working list of this stuff, partially built from Paul Norman's list
and partially built from Wikipedia.
If you tell me a place and a format, I can convert it to that.
