Re: [OSM-talk] Key Proposal wheelchair:toilet

2013-06-08 Thread Henning Scholland

Maybe it is supported by a special wheelchair-editor?

In general I think the meanings of both tagings are different.

amenity=toilets = there is a single toilet

wheelchair:toilet=yes = there is another amenity, shop, whatever, which 
offers a toilet.

Yes!  I don't understand why people ignore the wiki.

 Hi everyone,

 we at wheelmap.org want to take our service to the next level by tagging
 public places wether there is an wheelchair accessible toilet or not. To
 start the discussion we prepared an key proposal:

 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/wheelchair:toilet

 Please let us know what you think about it.



the proposal looks reasonable at first glance, if you see this as an
attribute to something (and it will definitely be easier to evaluate this
way). An alternative might be to tag explicitly the toilet and add
wheelchair tags to the toilet.

I checked with tag info and there are already tags in use:

http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/toilets
e.g.
wheelchair:*toilets*http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/wheelchair%3Atoilets
*toilets*:wheelchairhttp://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/toilets%3Awheelchair

the suggestion for a toilet attribute on a POI according to
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dtoilets is toilets,
that's why I suggest you change the wording in your proposal to plural.
IMHO the most logical way would be toilets:wheelchair=yes/no but
wheelchair:toilets is currently used far more often.

Re: [OSM-talk] Key Proposal wheelchair:toilet

2013-06-07 Thread John F. Eldredge
In my experience, usually only one stall in a public restroom will have the 
larger size and handrails needed for wheelchair use.  I have only seen a few 
extra-large restrooms which were equipped to handle more than one 
wheelchair-using person at a time.  Thus, it would be useful to be able to tag 
the number of such stalls.

Really? On how many occasions do you think that someone is going to make
a different decision based on the availability of that information?

One would need to be a wheelchair user approximately equidistant between
two toilets, with neither being on the way to where you are going next,
and some concern that the area happened to currently be populated by an
unusually large number of wheelchair users (a convention, perhaps?), in
a situation where waiting a few minutes for a toilet would be a deep
inconvenience, using an OpenStreetMap client which made available data
about the number of wheelchair-accessible stalls in each toilet.

This seems somewhat unlikely, to me at least.

It would not hurt to have this information as yes/no would still be an
option.

+1, for toilets:wheelchair=0-100, or even toilets:wheelchair:female=1
