Re: [OSM-talk] [Diversity-talk] How do you mapping gender neutral toilets? What should the unisex tag mean?

Somehow I don't see anything on the wiki page that supports this lengthy thread. The issue may be that there are (at least) two ways to map a toilet facility: - rough, one node or area for the whole thing, indicating that unisex, female and male apply to the options available within, making it di

Re: [OSM-talk] Name:* tags in the local language

Discussing this in parallel on our Riot channel. The decision was made before I joined OSM (thus before 2011). Apparently for the renderer, (as a street name with a semi-colon looks weird to non-insiders I guess). regards m On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 3:05 PM, Daniel Koć wrote: > W dniu 26.04.2018

Re: [OSM-talk] Name:* tags in the local language

The name for the country in the name tag is " België / Belgique / Belgien" (*) The name for any street in Brussels is either " - " or " - " with the majority mapped with French in front. The names never use a semi-colon. Without looking at name:fr / name:nl tags you don't know which part of the na

Re: [OSM-talk] Name:* tags in the local language

Placenames are often corruptions of old languages or are in a different language to that spoken and not everywhere has an official language. If a place in England should we assume its name is in English? Name:en=Llanymynech would be a very odd assumption. As would Hengoed or Rhydycroesau. This

If no-one is using the data, and many data contributors (mappers) are using "unisex=yes" as gender neutral, then it doesn't matt
