[feature request] Render brand=* if no name=* #799

Open ghost opened 9 years ago

Some shops like gas stations often have a brand tag but no name. Currently these all show as gas station and it's impossible to tell them apart.

I propose that you treat the brand tag like a name tag if there is no name tag present. If there is a name tag, the brand should also be shown like how operator=* is in bank and ATM listings.

Example: Texaco gas station

Thanks, weā€™ll consider it. In the past we would simply put tagā€™s value into a featureā€™s name. But now weā€™re working on a map editor, and this ā€˜approachā€™ can break things (you can edit and save name which was originally a brand for example).

+1 - On areas where supermarkets are consistently tagged with just brand a search in Maps.Me returns a very large number of generic supermarkets :( e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/348403542

Hello,

I would suggest that the brand was informed first and then the company name .

I understand that the user can more easily identify the gas station , bank or supermarket with the presentation in this order: brand name
