Hello,

I think the door has no name and the café is not the door operator either. The three methods that seem appropriate to me are: - Assign a value to entrance that describes its purpose (entrance=shop entrance=amenity entrance=office) - Create an area for the café and connect the entrance to this area - Use the type=provides feature relationship to link the door to the café [1] And a slightly roundabout and limited method: have the café object close to its entrance

Regards, Marc

Grüezi,

I am looking at an entrance I added to a cafe a while back. I see I added the name of the cafe as name=Bahnino on the entrance, and the cafe has its own point that is the same name.

I was wondering if that is wrong: should I instead put operator=Bahnino, or even remove the name from the entrance entirely? On my own map project I was searching for duplicates and this came up as a weak candidate due to same name.

What is the best protocol in general for giving some signal that the entrance is connected to a specific POI, considering that a building could have many entrance nodes but each one could lead to one or many places directly?

Thanks for any tips and advice!
