Many highway non-vegetarian eateries/restaurants in tamilnadu have an explicit sign board saying no vegetarian food. This is becoming common in many cities in tamilnadu. IMHO, colors (in symbol) for restaurants have to represent 3 types of restaurants 1. Veg - Green 2. Both veg and non-veg (may be orange) 3. Strictly non-vegetarian (red) actually, now that I come to think of it - veg/non-veg is broader than mere restaurants. It extends to any establishment purveying food - including supermarkets. so may be a general tag: food=veg -- green dot food=non-veg -- red dot -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Project Officer NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in

Just noting what had been on my mind since long. any scope of it also changing?) as far as I know, most towns in tn at least have different parking for two- wheelers and four-wheelers. They also have auto stands.

Re: [Talk-in] veg and non-veg
Hi, or can we have keys for this like veg=yes/no nonveg=yes/no so that this can cover hotels that server both veg and non-veg. Personally, I find more appropriate to use the existing tags: amenity = restaurant, combined with: cuisine = vegetarian or cuisine = non-vegetarian Have a look here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cuisine First using attributes in full makes it more explicit. OpenStreetMap is used worldwide and some vegetarian restaurants can even be found in other countries. If non-specified, the restaurant is supposed to serve both veg and non-veg and is not tagged on the map. Of course, cuisine = indian does not make sense for India. Moreover, I am not sure of the relevance of the non-vegetarian attribute. All the non-vegetarian restaurants I know propose vegetarian meals.

Re: [Talk-in] veg and non-veg
I do not agree. This is more fundamental than cuisine in the indian context. Cuisine could be north indian, continental, chinese, american or what have you. The first point for determination of where to eat is veg/non-veg, as far as India is concerned. This is evidenced by the government making it mandatory to specify this by red/green circles on all food. For example take chinese cuisine (not that chinese in India remotely resembles chinese cuisine), this is divided again into veg/non-veg. As pointed out this applies also to burger and pizza joints. So a map catering to indian tastes would make this the prime designator for restaurants. Ok, I get the point now. It would be a kind of sub-attribute requiring amenity = restaurant, and which could be combined with cuisine = *. ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in
