the main OSM website.<br>

(farmyards that have been sold off for housing are quite often multiple residences) or a farmyard (which will include a residence) I would use highway=service and service=driveway. I would add a surface tag for the surface. I might even add a tracktype tag
as in reality this is just another descriptor for a surface.<o:p> If the highway is to farm buildings only (you get isolated barn/s in fields) or into fields I would use highway=track.

Just to mention that I use navit on my satnavs, and that has a good<br>
"POI" feature which would show benches in the vicinity. I understand<br>
that there is a Android version, so presumably it works on those<br>
types of smartphone.<br>
