I was gonna say we should probably consider adding subtags for bottled gas like propane and butane so that shop=gas might eventually be subsumed by a new overall shop=fuel. By the way, firewood is a fuel and could conceivably fit in here too. I would want to stay away from using another amenity tag, as John suggests too. This is not an amenity but a shop catering to a certain group of people
Wiki definition: amenity=Covering an assortment of community facilities". The Wiki doesn't really spell out the differences between shop and amenities that sell things either so it's difficult to determine what belongs where. Also, FYI, I took a look at the objects currently tagged as shop=gas and many of them appear to be incorrect. Judging from the aerials they are actually the sort of thing we're referring to here as a full-service fuel station, amenities with names like Valero, Texaco, Chevron. Obviously many mappers aren't reading the Wiki and use whatever tag sounds right to them. Makes what we're discussing here seem like a waste of energy :-( On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 11:44 AM, John Willis <jo...@mac.com> wrote: > Maybe amenity=fuel_stand? > > Then we can tag it onto existing shops (like a DIY store) or micromap it > onto gas stations. > > As long as distribution is non-traditional, a shop selling fuel oil and > cordwood for heating is fine with me (I have to read up on fuel= tagging ) > > I know there are shops and problem who sell stacked firewood as a fuel - > or is that some other kind of shop? > > Javbw > > On Mar 20, 2015, at 1:30 PM, Bryce Nesbitt <bry...@obviously.com> wrote: > > > > On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 7:40 PM, johnw <jo...@mac.com> wrote: >> >> If the DIY kerosene stands were tagged as gas stations, there would be >> thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of gas stations across Japan that are >> not gas stations.
