1. Transportation
   1. Gas Station - Map as fence line, make sure the landmark does not snap to roads. At this time, the "name" property should be set to the brand of the gas station (i.e. "Mobil", not "Joe's Town Mobil & Repair"). Due to a rise in independent stations, several have adopted generic names, for these stations, use whatever shows prominently up on the signage. NOTE: gas station landmarks suppress automatic system-detected errors, and as such care should be taken to ensure they do not snap to roads.
