Re: [Talk-GB] Mapping Driving Test Centres

[Tony Shield]

Summarising, which I shall write up and place on the wiki - 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_Tagging_Guidelines, 
creating a new section  - DVSA Tagging.


Sources:

Found this link https://www.dft.gov.uk/fyn/practical.php which is s 
search page for Driving Test Centres. Provides addresses and links to 
Google  and OSM maps.


Tagging Guideline:

Node

office=government

operator=DVSA

name=Chorley Driving Test Centre,  recommend a name but many of them do 
not have a sign on the outside, it may be on the DVSA website.


government=transportation

address tags as appropriate,.

Schools are closer to the poacher than the gamekeeper!  No.  I don't
think they are equivalent.

Says that the tag is not sufficiently used to be mappable!

Does https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Ddriving_school not
fit the bill?

You might want to add operator=DVSA. I tag them like Tony too

If anyone has mapped these in the past I'd be curious to know how you 
tagged them (both practical and theory test centres).


Also curious as to how they've been named (if at all) as the DVSA just 
refers to them by where they are located.
