Talk:Micromapping

a cash register, a point of sale, a counter

Thought about marking a point of sale location for a swimming sports center. shop=point_of_sale is what comes to mind but it has not been mapped yet by anybody I know. Has anybody thought about this before? logictheo (talk) 09:33, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

To me, using the shop=* key does not seem good here. shop=point_of_sale would be a shop for "point_of_sale" devices/stuff in coherence to the other shop value. Just coincidentally I mapped a swimming park today and thought of mapping the point of sale too (did not map it in the end). Okay ... what is a good tag for it then? amenity=point_of_sale (similar to the toilets, waste baskets, showers, inside shops/swimming parks...)? Not sure what the best value is. However, a p.o.s. may usually be at the main entrance (entrance=main), so mapping it is not that important. --Aseerel4c26 (talk) 13:14, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Need for editors to handle micromapping category objects differently

Micromapping fills OpenStretMap database with so much objects that editors on ordinary PCs cannot handle it any more. I just installed new PC (6 core AMD processor at 3.7Ghz with 32GB RAM) and ID editor is unusable in my city.

There is need for editor to have options to exclude object that belong to micromapping category to reduce resource usage. That would allow users who do ordinary mapping to not load at all micromapping objects thus, being able to work on map.
