I enjoy mapping nature reserves, large parks and trail systems. These typically share a number of features:
- They're physically adjacent to several roads, but they're only accessible from one or two. - They typically have one or more official parking areas, with information kiosks and trailheads. - They almost never have official street numbers. - They're often surrounded by poorly-surveyed, poorly-marked roads which make manual navigation hazardous. For several illustrated examples, please see the wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Ekidd/Routing_to_public_lands_with_designated_parking_lots In an ideal world, there would be some way to clearly indicate "This is an official parking lot for accessing this area/POI/business/etc." Possibilities include: - amenity=parking with destination=*. This seems straightforward, but it's rarely used. - A relation linking the destination with its official parking lot(s). More complicated, but it might handle other odd cases. - Some way to associate a "preferred routing point" with an area (a bit hacky, frankly). Does anybody have any suggestions? Are there existing conventions? Would any OSM-based routing software be interested in delivering people to the correct parking lot? Are there other related use cases? -Eric
