I am not sure if it is a good idea to put all these new tags into the amenity namespace. Amenities are "general" features (e.g. mapnik tries to render all of them) and the proposed tags like parking_space would in a complete mapping state clutter the map. If I get this right you suggest to consider amenity=parking as preliminary and to replace it with amenity=parking_space for single parking lots or groups of them, connected with relations? I think this is too complicated for most cases. I suggest to continue the use of an area with amenity=parking for outline of the whole facility and optionally parking=parking_space for single or groups of actual parking spaces (plus optionally all subtags for all kind of details as suggested). from your proposal: ======== * Parking spaces always have to be grouped together in a relation. In rare situations where there’s really only one single parking space that is not somehow connected to any other spaces nearby, "amenity=parking" should be applied. * A parking space should preferably be mapped as an area, but it is also possible to use a node. * Each single space should be mapped as a separate area. Exceptions for using one area to represent more than one space: o A lot of similar parking spaces side by side without any differing attributes and you don't want to put that much afford into it. o Spaces are just too small to map (for example for bicycle parking) o Satellite images aren't good enough and don’t allow the mapping of single parking spaces, but you can still make out separate groups of spaces. * It should not be used as a representation of one big single parking area. Highways should not cross this areas. ======================== maybe it would be easier to split this up in 2 proposals: one for parking_spaces and one for complex parking relations. cheers Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
