Re: [OSM-talk] What do you wish you'd known?

Or, paraphrasing a famous JFK quote: "Tell me not what I can do for OSM, tell me what can OSM do for me." When I was a beginner, I didn't know that I could search an address (Nominatim), I didn't know I could get directions (openrouteservice) and, until a couple of months ago, I didn't know that I could update a Garmin GPS with an OSM map. Now I know that all this stuff is well documented in the wiki and discussed regularly in the mailing lists, but a beginner is not interested in browsing the wiki or subscribing a ml. This happens later, when you have already decided that you like the project and you want to know more about it. The "How to use" part of OSM should be accessible from the home page with a single click. -- Giacomo Boschi http://gwilbor.wordpress.com/ ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

It seems one of those cases where everyone has his own definition... according to the wiki, fast food has a different meaning. Maybe if the community agrees on the definition of the already existing map features wouldn't be so hard to develop the new ones. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dfast_food If I read this page, I find that the simplest way of tagging an ice-cream shop is the cuisine tag associated with an amenity like fast food or cafe, according to circumstances. -- Giacomo Boschi http://gwilbor.wordpress.com/ ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Greg Troxel ha scritto: > amenity=fast_food has a lot of baggage. Question: in general, how do we tag the little specilized shops that sells only one kind of food, like kebab, hod dog, pizza, sandwiches or ice cream? -- Giacomo Boschi http://gwilbor.wordpress.com/ ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Roy Wallace ha scritto: > Use amenity=* for "useful and important facilities". > Use shop=* for "a place selling a retail product or service" It could be a sensible proposal, but at present state the shops where you can sit and eat (or even the "take-away" shops) are all tagged as amenity. The problem is that the same service could be offered by a more general amenity, such a cafeteria (or a bar, in the "mediterranean" meaning). So I would prefer something like: amenity=fast_food cuisine=ice_cream or amenity=cafe cuisine=ice_cream and so on. -- Giacomo Boschi http://gwilbor.wordpress.com/ ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Pieren ha scritto: > Excepted that we should try to keep spelling consistent, no ? It's fine for me. So what would be the best move?

[OSM-talk] Community center
It seems this proposal has a great consensus: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Community_Center Can someone (even me, for example) clean it up and add the tag to the map features? -- Giacomo Boschi http://gwilbor.wordpress.com/ ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

And yet that I'm more skilled, I'm still tired to go searching and asking what tag is best for a certain feature. -- Giacomo Boschi http://gwilbor.wordpress.com/ ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
