Say, a book store with a café. Or a place that is a café by day and a wine bar by night.

      I’m dealing with some weird ones, like laundromat cafés and stationery shop cafés. But at least it looks like I can add an amenity tag to most of these. It’s just the bar/café that I’m really struggling with.

    it is common practice in the u.s., at least, to use two nodes for big chain drugstores, where the shop, marked chemist, often has wildly different hours from the pharmacy. they have the same name and much of the same info

    Seems to me that the data validations should be designed to only present a conflict if you have a business operating in the same place at the same time as another business.

    This enables mixed-use scheduling, and it also allows the system to retain historical data about businesses that are completely replaced by other businesses, allowing for viewing of older snapshots of the map.

    That being said, I have no idea what this sub is or what we’re discussing.

      OP is trying to accurately tag a location they were adding to OpenStreetMap, an open source alternative to services like Google Maps. The conflict arose because currently, the location can only have one tag applied to it, but the business serves multiple purpose as the same entity under the same name, which complicates the ability to accurately tag it.
