I was looking for a state alcohol shop in Lund Sweden (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=55.705917&lon=13.188067&zoom=18&layers=M)--my wife was sure that it was there but I didn't see it on the default (mapnik?) map. I found it in person then went to add it to the map to find it was there, with all details entered correctly (tag shop=alcohol). Why do some shops show up on the map and not others? asked 11 Nov '12, 09:45  Blaine |
One Answer:
There is an almost infinite number of potential "shop" values, but only the most common ones have icons in the Mapnik style. At the time of writing, these are
There is no "generic" shop icon (that could be used for "some shop but none of the above"). The relevant code is in http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik/inc/layer-amenity-points.xml.inc - the usual way to suggest enhancements to the Mapnik style is opening a ticket on trac.openstreetmap.org, ideally with a patch and a suitable SVG icon attached. answered 11 Nov '12, 10:16  Frederik Ramm ♦ |
