In general, how can I find a mapping between the POI Types (Categories) in OsmAnd and the OSM tags that it's actually translating-to in the OSM dataset? I'm trying to buy a zipper. On OsmAnd, the closest thing to "a store that sells zippers" that I can find in the "Categories" section of POIs is "Drapery Store". But I'm not sure if a store that sells curtains is going to sell zippers. If I check the OSM wiki, then I see that there's a sewing shop that could be tagged in a number of ways:
I'm not sure if searching for a "Drapery store" in OsmAnd will return all of the above or not. How can I know? But I'm not asking specifically about my query with the drapery store and the finite list of tags enumerated above. I'm asking a more general question: How can I translate the "POI Type" (or "Categories") in OsmAnd to their respective, actual tags in the OSM dataset? |

If you've enabled the "OpenStreetMap editing" plugin then you can attempt to create a new POI then you can see what tags are used by OsmAnd for a given POI Type (Category).
If, for example, you had entered "Drapery store" into the "POI Type" field, then you should see one name=value tag set
Therefore, it appears that I have no idea how to do this without the OpenStreetMap editing plugin. |

Hello, in the OsmAnd search doc, you can find a link to list of poi types form the source code. You then need to find the "phrase" associated to the internal key, in this file for English. Regards. |
