If the rendering is not doing the desired thing, then we open a ticket about that issue, and let the rendering folks deal with it.

The facilities in question are both a remote appendage to a large hospital, and a stand alone destination in their own right.

In Florida, I do not believe they exist at all (due to state licensing requirements). _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
