A few months ago in some local news media a talking head claimed that Amsterdam's Red Light District wasn't in central Amsterdam and moreover that it didn't contain any Coffee shops, i.e. ones of the type that'll sell you more than just beverages.
So of course I headed over to OSM to prove both of these to be incorrect. Only to find to my disappointment that not only did the map of Amsterdam not have an area (or even a POI!) for the Red Light district, it also didn't have any sort of tagging schema for aforementioned Coffee shops. (Incidental after some searching around this is the best map I can find showing those two features: http://www.coffeeshop.freeuk.com/Map.html) So here's hoping that SOTM visitors to Amsterdam will be able to rectify this situation. The problem of coming up with a tagging schema for POIs applicable to these two categories I leave to you. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
