Where a shop has closed and all the fittings removed, usually ready for a new shop to move in, I use shop=vacant, and where appropriate building=retail. I would only use an abandoned tag where the building is run down and would need significant repairs to bring back into use, or possibly where there have been squatters or it's falling down. Abandoned is a rather strong word to use. Shaun _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
