Pubs as areas

Hi
I've created an area that represents the whole of a pub - building/beer garden & car park.

amenity=pub
area=yes
name = The Dog

It fails to render in Mapnik/Osmarender.

Do I need to add something else or is it something the renderers need to sort out?

Ta

Re: Pubs as areas

Can you link to an example on the map? Is it rendered at all?

If you have a area tagged with building=yes and amenity=pub then it renders fine as a building with a pub icon etc. Though the garden isn't a building - maybe have an area with building=yes next to an area with leisure=garden?

Also, I don't think the car park should be tagged as amenity=pub, as its not actually part of the pub. Just as a supermarket car park is not part of the shop. Just draw it as a separate area with amenity=parking, plus name=pub car park or whatever.

Re: Pubs as areas

You're correct.
If I want to micro map I suppose I have to go the whole hog & draw all areas individually.

Thanks
