That is a big help. I've often found a substantial amount added to my 
journey using other maps driving around a maze of inner city one way 
and no left hand turns trying to find an entrance. I've also found 
connecting the car park way to the road where the entrance(s) are 
with a short highway=service stub looks visually good and may help 
with routing when that becomes big.
