+1 these are different.

Fact is rendered maps get boiled down to simple symbols.  If a  "[P]"
parking symbol on a map is to have any meaning, it has to be a lot one
could actually park at.

The same goes for toilets: imagine of the map was cluttered with toilet
symbols most of which you could not actually use.

------------------------
Long term vehicle storage is not the same as parking.

Parking lots break down into:

1) Public, free
2) Public, paid
3) Destination only, free
4) Destination only, paid
5) Private

The gray area are nominally "shoppers only" destination parking lots where
nobody enforces the rule.
