How do you add a gas station as a POI?

2	Gas Stations do not appear to be listed as a choice to label a point of interest. gas poi asked 06 Jun '11, 03:24 RLourette 31●1●1●3 accept rate: 0%

In Potlatch 2, a gas station is indicated the the small gas pump icon in the "Transport" category.

amenity=fuel in potlatch2

In JOSM, follow the Presets » Transport » Car » Fuel, also indicated by a small gas pump icon.

If you are doing things the manual way, use key:amenity; value:fuel to add a gas station to OpenStreetMap.

1	If you'd like (and if appropriate for your area) you're welcome to add unusual fuel types, such as compressed natural gas (CNG). See here on the OSM wiki for what can be used. permanent link answered 08 Jun '11, 07:57 geolr 70●1●5 accept rate: 0% edited 08 Jun '11, 07:57

1	In a lot of cases it will be accompanied by shop=convenience or shop=car_repair amenity=car_wash permanent link answered 21 Jul '11, 22:04 Sundance 467●5●11 accept rate: 3%
