How to determine area or point

Parking lots and Petrol 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 aid in orientation while driving, which will often be the case at an event center, factory, hospital, office, campground, shopping centers, museums (e.g. Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), major monuments, schools, tourist site, attraction, sports field or stadium, and natural features. They are mapped as areas on the (building) perimeter and usually do not cover streets.
