For the UK stations I added map notes for each of the six locations, but
none of those were followed up on by UK mappers.
The job was finished by my ringing up the reception desk at each of the

Oddly, nobody thought I was nutters.

In contrast the USA import was done by importing the questionable data and
adding a map note.  That backlog of notes is rapidly dwindling.  Most were
spot on, some were across the street, almost all were within visual

Nothing in the UK was mechanically retagged.

While there was not global concordance on all issues relating waterway and
land tagging, there was substantial concordance, and quite a few
participants, including a number of seamark mappers. In other words,
several steps forward, more to go.

Unlike in the xkcd cartoon, the 14 old standards don't have to keep
existing.  The number of different styles can be reduced if not to one,
then to less than many.  In the case of holding tank tagging at least
what's left is semantically clear: previously four distinct features were
routinely mapped to indistinguishable tags.  I don't want to pull a boat or
motorhome up to a dog waste trash bin, and nor does anyone else.

Waiting for the grand unified scheme could be an xkcd cartoon of its own.

Where the boat=yes motorhome=no tag could exist on an enclosing way such as
a Marina.


---

I see the issue as centered on complexity, mapper behavior, and
rendering/searching behavior.
The system depends on two types of access : legal permission and physical
access.  A marine
site may only be accessible to boat, or free and public but only welcome
marine users.  That subtlety will likely
be lost in rendering or gps searching, leading people to an inappropriate
facility.  The reality is that
top level tags are what controls most searching and rendering.

The tags boat=yes and motorhome=no are not universally processed by
rendering.  Thus most
of the time the feature will show up undifferentiated.


*OpenSeaMap* has chosen to use it's own tags in part to avoid motorhome
features showing up
on Mariner's map.  This allows ready and reliable creation of a mariner's
map (or in this case a UK
waterway map).  The cost of a new high level tag seems small compared to
the benefits.  The toilet
stations I map will be with something simpler.

https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/1466

This feature is glaringly missing from campground and canal maps rendered
with OSM data.



Monolithic tagging matching the desire of richardwest would be fine with me:

*amenity=elsan_point*
*amenity=pump-out*
*amenity=rv_dump_station*

*waterway=elsan_point*
*waterway=pump-out*

Plus the same for toilets drinking_water, and fuel (in particular
waterway=fuel).

In that scheme, *waterway=elsan_point* + *amenity=elsan_point* is a
sensible combination.
Access tags are need to cover the case of facilities available only to
overnight guests, since that case is so common.

Re: [Talk-GB] elsan_points

2015-04-23 Thread Bryce Nesbitt
To summarize:

Nobody likes to talk about waste, so euphemisms abound.
Past tagging has been all over the map, and the same tags were used in
Europe for dog_waste bins as well as motorhome dump points.


-
The basic styles of holding tank station seem to be:

   - elsan point (walk up dumping basin)(also called a CDP)
   - round drain (gravity drain hose : 3 in diameter in the USA)
   - pump-out (mechanical suction).

Accepting:

   - Gray water (usually)
   - Bilge water (rarely)
   - Black water (usually)
   - Black water but not gray water (occasionally)

Prohibiting:

   - Certain tank chemicals

Offering at the same location:

   - Rinse water which may not be potable.
   - Drinking water (amenity=water_point).
   - Drinking water (amenity=drinking_water).
   - Walk up toilets.

Access Rules:

   - From water or land, or in a few cases both.
   - Free, paid in advance, pay at the pump with coins or cards, or pay at
   the office.
   - Part of regional network or not (card key, payment card).
   - Accessible to overnight guests only, or to everyone.

Position may be:

   - Located on a dock next to waterway=fuel (often)
   - Located on a separate dock.
   - Located on land, even it only serves marine users.
   - Located at each camping pitch.
   - Located at a central location, with varying degrees of accessibility
   by large boats or motorhomes (often).
   - Unknown (many RV and Marina sites list dump services on their
   websites, but the exact location does not appear on the brochure or
   map)(often).
   - Associated with a walk up toilet, or not.

Rendered by:

   - Opensea map, and nothing else prominent.


-
Marine fuel, and amenity=water_point are very similar.


-
A chemical toilet is something completely different in the USA.
Aporta potty is a walk up toilet in the USA.
German facilities sport about a dozen designs of coin pay stations
incorporating a CDP and round drain into one unit, and sometimes a pumpout,
water point, and rinse hose for good measure.



-
So how do we get to the point where these facilities can be rendered, so a
campground map looks proper
when brought up on a smartphone?

Note this sanitary_dump_station scheme replaced over a dozen other tagging
styles worldwide.  It was a real mess: fragmented and tagged for the

There were advocates for using UK term Elsan for the cleanup.
Others objected to the use of a trade name.  Thus *sanitary_dump_station*
as an attempt at a generic term with a good chance of understanding when
translated into multiple languages, and a good match to the customary terms
used locally. The scheme's wiki page is now in French, German, English and

Yes, there are intrinsic differences for marine and land facilities.

And *access=customers* has a specific different definition here, as it is
common for a pump-out or dump station to
be restricted only to paying overnight guests at the facility (e.g. you
can't even pay to use it unless you're staying overnight).

Purely *geometric* properties don't work, as fuel station tagging shows.
Proximity to the water's edge or a marina polygon does not itself
disambiguate the feature type.



The new tagging style covers a lot of bases: maybe not all, but many more
than any of the dozen or so informal methods.
The terms were also chosen carefully for worldwide use.  Chemical Dump
Point or CDP was found in the UK, and
Dump station is well recognized in the USA Australia and NZ.  Sanitary is
a pretty icky word, but not nearly as rude as
excrement, for the USA.  Elsan was objected to as a brand name not a
generic type.  Of the 200 or so stations I found in
searching note, description, and recycling tags, most used some form of the
word dump for land station and pump for marine
pumpouts.  A small group of nodes are tagged Elsan along British canals.
The term human effluent did not come up in that discussion, but would
also be suitable (though effluent is likely never taught in the public
schools in the USA)

The choice of the exact wording of the tag is not as important as seeking
common tagging for a common feature.
Where would we be if every country used it's own word for highway.

Marine and land facilities are different, but there's no on the ground
difference between a comfort station and a toilet.

 Elsan is simply a trade name for a chemical toilet (likewise Portapotti).
 So your cassette tagging covers these use cases.


In the UK is the Elsan trade name used for both the mobile toilet and the

It appears the intent of the elsan_point tag in the UK was the later (

Re: [Talk-GB] Proposed import of approximately 6 bicycle repair tool stands in the UK

2015-03-05 Thread Bryce Nesbitt
I'm happy to import *JUST the six notes* if that's preferred, without any
node (the node and note are linked in other countries).  That's an extra
step for the local mapper however.


I have actually mapped one of these but have refrained from adding
 information about the manufacturer for fear that my ground survey will be
 obliterated by this import.

 There's no reason to fear. For @SK53 you can safely add brand :  this is
not an obliterating type of import, it's a conflation.  No ground survey
data is at risk: quite the contrary ground survey is needed and wanted.
For example:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/note/324309
http://www.openstreetmap.org/note/324440



This import is exactly analogous to checking an electronic list of open
Tesco locations against those mapped in OSM, except here the list is OdBL
licenced.

Beyond that, I've reached out to each of the (known to me) vendors of this
type of station, offering up OSM as a place to record tool stand locations.
I have no commercial relationship with any of them.

So: an import of NOTES instead, with no underlying node data?

 Could you have a go at locating these notes a bit better than the previous
 reverted import (e.g. put the note for the one that says that is in the
 Swan Hotel in Stafford within the Swan Hotel in Stafford, and not a couple
 of buildings away, and add the note for the one that already exists in the
 hospital down south where the node already exists, with suggested extra
 tags)?


With only six of them, the hand curation will be high, so yes.

The duplicate was missed before, as the existing node tags were more of a
hint than anything definitive.  But now it's strongly suspected to be the
same feature, so will be conflated rather than duplicated.  If you update
that node to the current convention, that matching would even be automatic
