A  vending machine is a machine which dispenses items such as snacks, beverages, alcohol, cigarettes, lottery tickets, cologne, consumer products and even gold and gems to customers automatically, after the customer inserts currency or credit into the machine.

How to map

Place a node where the machine is located. Add the tag amenity=vending_machine.

For machines associated with buildings (i.e. covered by a roof, or so unusually large such that they need a support building), draw the outline, tag it with building=service (or building=roof as appropriate) and add a node with amenity=vending_machine just inside the outline on the side where people actually exchange money for whatever is being vended.

In otherwise covered locations

Added because of an idea in the discussion.

In the case that a vending machine is inside of an otherwise covered location, like a subway station or a pub, we could add a tag to that location like:

In that case it would not make sense to give more information as this could lead to problems of assignment of that data as the user might mix them up with the location itself.

I think we can fix that by putting the vending machine in a separate node and add an: Indoor=yes --Lulu-Ann 17:37, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
