A vending machine is a machine which dispenses items such as snacks, beverages, alcohol, cigarettes, lottery tickets, cologne, consumer products and even gold and gemstones 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.

Recommended combinations

• vending=* - Type of items being sold - see taginfo for the most common ones
• manufacturer=* - manufacturer of the vending machine
• operator=* - Entity maintaining the machine, and refilling it.
• phone=* - Phone number you can call in case of problems with the machine.
• brand=* - Brand of product being sold.
• network=* - Usually used when mapping public transport related selling machines.

• payment:*=yes/no - Could be of good help to indicate.
• payment:coins:denominations=* - What coins does the machine accept?
• payment:notes:denominations=* - What notes does the machine accept?
• wheelchair=yes/no - Whether the vending machine both can be operated from a wheelchair (height of coin insert and display) and is accessible without stairs.
• covered=yes/no - Whether the vending machine is under a roof or inside.
