I recently discovered a preset in JOSM that should help in my work, shop=motorcycle (See:Presets/Transport/Motorcycle/Motorcycle Dealer in JOSM rel 9900). It is very detailed and would seem to cover every possible aspect of such shops from clothing and accessories to service. But it uses some tags and values that I've never seen and for which I could find no documentation.
In addition to the established tag brand which defines the name of the vehicle's manufacturer, (brand=Yamaha, brand=Honda), brand as a value appears as an offering for several other tags. Here is a section of the Wiki page for shop=motorcycle <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dmotorcycle> The following is a proposal to put this service variety into tags: - *sale=yes/brand/used/no/...* - sells whole motorcycles - *rental=yes/brand/no/...* - motorcycle rental - *repair=yes/brand/oldtimer/no/...* - repairs / maintains motorcycles - *safety_inspection=yes/no* - inspection <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_inspection> of safety/emission regulation conformance - *parts=yes/brand/oldtimer/no/...* - sells motorcycle parts - *clothes=yes/brand/no/...* - sells motorcycle clothes / equipment - *scooters=yes/no/only* - to distinguish scooter shops, very useful in Asia - *services=...* - other services this shop offers Note the tag "sale" which can take values of yes, no, or brand. I reckon it means what it says but "sale" seems a poor choice for a tag. (Note too that the Preset does not offer "used" in the choices as the Wiki implies.) If the wording in the Wiki is followed then this tag means the shop sells "whole motorcycles" (as opposed to pieces of motorcycles) of a certain brand. Fine, but the brand tag in the main section of the preset already specifies that, doesn't it? Is it logical to expect a shop selling new Hondas to also sell pieces of Yamaha motorcycles? One could reasonably assume that "brand" in those other cases means clothing of a certain brand, parts of a certain brand, etc., but what is the value "oldtimer" supposed to indicate? Thanks for your help and comments. Cheers, Dave
