Folks,
Our old police station was turned into a business incubator :
http://osm.org/go/cKDjq9KKi?node=1947683551. It was inaugurated
yesterday and it's new name was officialized :
http://www.lapresse.ca/la-tribune/economie-et-innovation/201503/26/01-4855585-le-400-rue-marquette-devient-lespace-inc-une-grande-journee-pour-notre-economie.php.
I changed the underlying building from "Police station" to "building"
last week. I also added a "building" point feature, short of having
something in Potlatch-2 choices even remotely reminiscent of a business
center of sorts with the name I had last week, then just updated it now
with the new name. I'm not happy with the results and I'm looking for
ways to improve. I have two questions :
1) What tag could I use for my incubator point feature ? Isn't there
some generic "business" point symbol somewhere ? The closest I found is
shopping/DIY (and that kind of applies since there is a real DIY shop in
there too) but the incubator really is a kind of coworking place, a
container for other businesses
2) I added the addr:* info to the point symbol, not the building outline
(canvec import). I'm thinking the addr.* info really belongs to the
building, as that's the only thing with a street address (with maybe
indidivual shops having some internal address designation but definitely
not a separate civic address) but I put the address info in the point
feature just to be sure it would be searchable. Could I rely on the
geosearch (and router) finding a point target without address info
because it would be clever enough to look at the layer "underneath" (in
my case the building outline) ? Do I have to duplicate the information
(which I definitely would like to avoid) ?
Case in point : there are close to ten businesses in there now, one
being a DIY shop that I would really like to map. So should I name the
building outline with the name of the incubator (the container) and
remove the point symbol altogether, then add point symbols only for the
constituent businesses that are hosted in the incubator? Or should I
keep the point symbol for the container (incubator) too ?
Thanx for pointers,
Yves
