When to use Area or Point
Parking Lots and Gas Stations are always drawn as Area Place. Most other places are generally drawn as a Point Place, except when they are large and distinctive enough to help in the orientation during driving, which will often be the case with an Event Center, Factory, Hospital, Office, Camping, Shopping malls, Museums (e.g.,Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), Monuments (e.g., Mardasson, Bastogne), Schools, Tourist Site, Attraction, Sports Court or Stadium and natural features. They are mapped as areas at the (building) outline and usually don't cover streets.
