Australia/Archive/Australian Service Station Tagging

This page describes a historic artifact in the history of OpenStreetMap. It does not reflect the current situation, but instead documents the historical concepts, issues, or ideas.

Background

Recently BP locations were imported into OSM, as a result it left a few open questions about tags used, it is hoped this page will sort out the tagging to be used on service stations for other services other than fuel types.
