Near where I am are some mapped businesses properties which have closed,
primarily shops, but also a couple of restaurants.
There is more than one common way of doing this.
Is the building exclusively used by the business? If not, I would map
the business as a point, or as a polygon covering the plan view area
occupied by the business, and not tag the building with business details.
a) A building holds a functioning business (that isn't a shop or restaurant
The appropriate tagging for the functioning business, e.g. office=*
b) A building holds a functioning shop
shop=yes
c) A building holds a functioning restaurant
amenity=restaurant
d) A building is a former business property (ceased
trading/closed/moved) with no new business taking it's spot
shop=vacant
or
disused:shop=<old shop type>
disused:amenity=restaurant
As a side note, I've been using Street Complete on Android. Is it worth
asking the Street Complete developers to add information about
businesses to their collection data, if they aren't already?
I've never heard of that, so I've no idea what the developer's
objectives were. I'm not aware of any Android tool that I would
recommend to someone who was not experienced with one of the big three
PC editors.
