I've just fixed two of these in fosm. *I hope people on this don't see the inclusion of this line trolling. But since we inherit all mapping techniques, tags, and other "how to map" guides in fosm from osm, it makes sense to consolidate that discussion on the OSM lists, and wiki etc. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I'm aware of a few of those free caravan/camping facilities, sometimes provided by local council to boost trade in a struggling town. I think we'd all agree those should be tagged as "tourism=camp_site", along with "maxstay=2 days" for example. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dcamp_site http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxstay John ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

An email saying "I just fixed two in fosm" and nothing else is clearly off-topic here. It belongs on the fosm list.

Re: [talk-au] rest areas
Hi Franc, I tend to do a service road with a picnic area, toilets, playground etc hanging off it with footways. Here's an example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-28.491884&lon=153.521386&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF It's missing any car parking tagging, plus it's got a name of "Yelgun Rest Area", I guess that can go on the picnic_site node *adds*. Hope this example helps. - Original Message - From: Franc Carter Date: Sunday, February 22, 2009 12:54 pm Subject: [talk-au] rest areas To: OSM Australian Talk List > Hi, > > what have people been using to tag rest areas with ? > > thanks > > -- > Franc > ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
