This makes sense, as in: “here is a sports shop which has articles for 2 types of sports.”

From list of POI to bike-optimized itinerary?
Hi! How would you calculate an itinerary going through 20-25 points optimized for going over there by bike?
I have a list of points of interest in a KML file which I’d like to visit, so I’d like to calculate an itinerary optimized for bike (avoiding high-traffic roads).
I was able to import it in MapQuest which can calculate and optimize an itinerary but only for a car.
I also found Brouter can calculate an itinerary for bike but it cannot optimize (and the optimal order of POI calculated by MapQuest is not ideal for a bike trip).
Also, I was able to import the POI in Brouter, but I couldn’t find how to calculate an itinerary from that (I had to click again near each imported POI on the map, which is tedious, of course).
Do you know of a good solution to this?
TIA
Decision of micro-mapping a gas station is a matter of how detailed you like it to be and is indirectly asking who will benefit from those details in &OpenStreetMap.
If you think of a large station, it could be made of pumps, shop, technical buildings, parkings, picnic sites, decorative grass, bushes, flower beds, etc.
Then, it becomes clearer the filling area is that: the filling area. So, shop, picnic sites, grass, etc. are part of the gas station but not of the filling area.
Where that area exactly starts and stops is your judgment call based on visual clues like curbs, painted lines, differences in ground surface and elevation, etc.
The wiki page gives a decent explanation, including pumps, shop, surroundings, etc.
Hello,
I’m Ben and my profile page reminds me I’ve been on Lemmy since the early days back in 2019 (and I need external memory, because my internal one regularly fails, as Pieter explained… 😂).
I figured back then OpenStreetMap deserved its discussion corner on Lemmy, so I went on. And there was activity but rather quiet with mainly news posts and no real discussion threads.
Meanwhile, a lot happened to Lemmy, the Fediverse, and the outside, so we’re good for more activity on here, and that’s excellent news!
I can’t really make the time to map a lot in the last years, but I keep myself interested in mapping and in the OSM ecosystem at large, so all things OpenStreetMap usually catch my interest and are open to discuss.
As a mod, I still have to discover what the duty will really impose, but I’m positive we’ll make it a nice place all together. 🎉

Countryside #OpenStreetMap mapping in Northamptonshire
Leaving Yarwell, I take a walk to the nearest (in use) bus stop, 5 miles away! Choosing my route based on what OSM Notes I might pass, this allows me to check and fix OpenStreetMap.
