→Open Street Map integration

Several of the fields are pulled from Open Street Map (name, postcode, city, country, lat, lon). These need to be regularly updated, so that OSM is followed. Any deleted location should be kept.
All locations are linked to [https://www.openstreetmap.org/ Open Street Map] (OSM) through the unique OSM id. The link refers to a basic object in SOM:
* Node - is used to refer to a single location, like [https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/25213337 BP Service];
* Way - is used to refer to a building, like [https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/31348922 IKEA];
* Relation - is used to refer multiple ways used by the shop, like [https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1235874 Carrefour];
Using a Way to designate a shopping location might lead to inconsistencies, like [https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4447066 this] actual location. Which shop on the street is meant?
Using a relation might lead to inconsistencies as well, like [https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/7868535 this] actual location;
