No, that is "The name of the city as given in postal addresses of the building/area." Often a business will make reference to, e.g. "oh, for that you need to call our <branch name> shop". In my experience, in Australia, this is usually the name of the suburb where the branch is located. But not always. See, for example, the following link, where "Garden City" is the name of a branch located in the suburb of "Upper Mount Gravatt": http://www.oxfamshop.org.au/pages/81876 Or have a look at www.jbhifi.com.au - click on "See All Stores" on the left - they disambiguate multiple branches located in the same suburb, e.g. "City - Bourke Street" vs. "City - Cameras". This information is useful, but I think it shouldn't be put in the name=* tag, rather a separate tag. Maybe either name:branch=* or branch_name=*. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
