I’m adding a business that is primarily for surfing and also has some skateboard accessories. Can I use multiple tags to designate this?
“shop=surf;skate”
Would that work? On the OSM wiki it says under cuisine you can use multiple tags but I don’t see anything saying if it’s proper to do that with a key for shop.
Tough call. On one hand, choosing the primary sport probably makes it more likely that renderers will render some sort of icon for that sport. On the other hand, there’s the whole don’t map for renderers, prioritize capturing accurate data.
When I’m torn, I try to find another example of what I’m mapping and see how somebody else mapped it. Look for a precedent if you will. If you’re comfortable with overpass and taginfo, those two sites can be invaluable in finding other examples to follow.
Yeah true I’ve seen the drama with mapping for renderers. I just gave overpass a try but I must be doing something wrong. Tag Info is easier to understand and reported back one example of a shop=surf;skate;snowboard. Thanks for the tips. Someone just posted another comment to an OSM Wiki page with what seems to be a definitive answer to my question.
