Not sure I get what you mean. The 'Edit' function on openstreetmap.org lest me add exactly this kind of information. So they do provide it, or not?

- maxerickson 13y agoSort of. The search box on the OSM.org site is more a data inspector than it is a search nearby box. So going to a place and searching for 'fastfood' returns objects from around the world based on the name matching 'fastfood'. A more structured input, like 'fast food, detroit, mi' returns something more sensible (but it is still searching the city limits of Detroit, not the metro area). So the machinery there provides information, but it is not set up for end user situations.
- rmc 13y ago(but it is still searching the city limits of Detroit, not the metro area). Not necessarily. It depends on what the geocoding software does. It might use rigid "city" borders, or might not. In Europe, we don't have these rigid "city borders", so lots of software has to cope with that.
- aw3c2 13y agoThe data easily provides the possibility. The .org website however might be lacking your specific wishes.
