[talk-au] Attributing points and/or areas

[David Murn]

Wiki sort of suggests your GPS hat is correct, leave the node as it is,
map the building and concourse, then map with building=yes or
surface=paved and highway=service.  Also, do you have highway=service
ways leading from the road to the concourse driveways?  You can also tag
the building entrance too, if you know that detail.
