Re: [Talk-in] Need guidance in launching a HOT project in Bangalore for mapping the lakes

[Mateusz Konieczny via Talk-in]

You must not use Google Maps for mapping in OpenStreetMap.

You must not use maps on incompatible licences for
mapping in OSM.

Any such edit must be reverted and purged.

Re: [Talk-in] Mapping Water ATM's

[Mateusz Konieczny via Talk-in]

amenity=vending_machine
vending=water

is a potential alternative tagging
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dvending_machine


amenity=water_point seems for larger scale
"Water ATM located at Jayanagar dispenses around 6000 litres daily"
and article has people with just some large bottles while
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dwater_point
describes it as
"you can get larger amounts of "drinking water" for filling a fresh water
holding tank, such as found on caravans, RVs and boats."
