Although I would expect you could always add another tent somehow. Or is this about legal regulations (e.g. to protect a vulnerable site, or for security reasons like fire protection, etc.)? In this case a maxtent tag might be more in line with established tagging. Cheers Martin ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] Maxtents= or capacity:tents= for campsites?
OK, so there were 2 people in favor of capacity:tents= (+ tents=yes/no) and 2 in favor of using tents=yes/ alone. Any other thoughts on this?

Re: [Tagging] Maxtents= or capacity:tents= for campsites?
These are mainly meant to be used with tourism=camp_site and tourism=caravan_site to show the total capacity of the facility, which might be important for groups. For tourism=camp_pitch it could be used for large "pitches" that are intended for a group, such as an extended family. I've seen these where a half-dozen or dozen tents are allowed. I don't camp by caravan myself, but I think there are occasionally sites that can be reserved or booked as one location for a group of several caravans at a national park, so caravans=4 or capacity:caravans=3 might occasionally be useful even with tourism=camp_pitch.

Re: [Tagging] Maxtents= or capacity:tents= for campsites?
It’s true that tents=yes/no/ are all used. I suppose it takes a slightly more complicated SQL query to interpret as equivalent to “yes”, but it would be easier for mappers to use just one key, I think? Are others ok with tents= and caravans= in addition to a”yes” and “no” values?

Re: [Tagging] Maxtents= or capacity:tents= for campsites?
all maxtents=yes are in a "small" area in the north of the USA. https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/KrR I have send a changeset comment to ask the meaning. despite that, maxtents= are indeed a bad idea. capacity:tents is a more common schema but I don't really see any advantage with tents=yes + capacity:tents= versus tents= Regards, Marc Le 03.07.19 à 10:18, Tom Pfeifer a écrit : > "capacity" is the well established for the number of items the facility > can hold, > from students in school, parking spaces to hotel rooms. > > "maxtents" is hard to understand, ambiguous and likely leading to > confusion. > It could refer to the size as well (maxi tents?) which might explain the > poorly tagged "maxtents=yes".

Re: [Tagging] Maxtents= or capacity:tents= for campsites?
"capacity" is the well established for the number of items the facility can hold, from students in school, parking spaces to hotel rooms. "maxtents" is hard to understand, ambiguous and likely leading to confusion. It could refer to the size as well (maxi tents?) which might explain the poorly tagged "maxtents=yes". Did you check if that came from a weird import? tom On 03.07.2019 02:05, Joseph Eisenberg wrote: Some users specify the number of tents or caravans allowed at a campsite or camp pitch with tents= and caravans=, but more frequently these are specified with capacity:caravans=, capacity:tents= or maxtents= Currently maxtents=* is used most frequently and it's the shortest key, but there is no equivalent tag for carvans other than capacity:caravans=* - and also, the majority of maxtents= tags are "maxtents=yes" - and I don't understand what this could mean.

[Tagging] Maxtents= or capacity:tents= for campsites?
Some users specify the number of tents or caravans allowed at a campsite or camp pitch with tents= and caravans=, but more frequently these are specified with capacity:caravans=, capacity:tents= or maxtents= Currently maxtents=* is used most frequently and it's the shortest key, but there is no equivalent tag for carvans other than capacity:caravans=* - and also, the majority of maxtents= tags are "maxtents=yes" - and I don't understand what this could mean. So I'm thinking that capacity:tents=# and capacity:caravans=# would be the least ambiguous option, along with tents=yes/no and caravans=yes/no? These tags could be used with tourism=camp_pitch, tourism=camp_site and tourism=caravan_site, and perhaps with other accommodation features which also offer tent or caravan (RV/Motorhome) sites. -Joseph (Sorry for all the questions, but I would like to develop a full proposal for additional property tags to be used with this feature and with camp_site / caravan_Site) ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
