Re: [Tagging] Tagging camp sites within campground

2013-06-21 Thread Tod Fitch
If I may summarize things to this point, two general proposals have been made:

1. Extend the normal street addressing to include lots, sites or pitches

2. Add a whole new set of tags specific to campsites.

My camping experience has been mostly in the western United States and my views 
are affected by that.

With that disclaimer out of the way, it appears that commercial campgrounds 
usually have traditional street addresses for the entire complex. For those a 
good case can be made that simply adding a addr:unit=* (or other equivalent) 
tag will work. Some private campground seem to have named their internal 
driveway system. So you could argue for those a traditional addr:street=*, 
addr:housenumber=* tag would work, except maybe if it obscures the official 
street address for the whole campground.

Most of the public (state parks, USFS, NPS) campgrounds in my area do not have 
a street address. At least none posted and it seems inappropriate to me having 
a addr:unit tag with no addr:housenumber tag. In addition, I'm not even 
positive that there are posted road names for a number of these campgrounds. 
There may be a forest route number shown on a forest service map but it may not 
be signed in the field. A addr:unit with no addr:street seems even less 
appropriate.

I assume uniform tagging is desired for all cases and it does not appear to me 
that anything with addr:whatever will work in all cases. So my inclination 
would be to follow Andrew Errington's suggestion and use tags specifically 
catering to campsites. He proposed the following:

On Jun 17, 2013, at 7:01 AM, Andrew Errington wrote:

 Yes.  Instead, I suggest that you use tourism=camp_site and put the name in 
 name=*
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dcamp_site
 
 I would also suggest that addr:*=* is inappropriate for pitches on the site.  
 addr:*=* would be for the campsite itself, probably the site office, but if 
 there is no address (for the campsite) then you can't make one- just use 
 name=* as above.
 
 How about making a set of tags for a pitch?  (pitch is the area upon which 
 the caravan or tent is situated).  You can create a node or an area (probably 
 a rectangle) and use ref=* for the pitch number.  I don't know quite how to 
 do the namespace, but something like:
 camp_site=pitch (this is a pitch for a tent or caravan or motorhome)
 camp_site:parking=yes/no (you can park next to your tent)
 camp_site:electric=yes/no (there is an electrical hookup for this pitch)
 camp_site:water=yes/no (there is a water tap for this pitch)
 camp_site:drain=yes/no (there is a grey water drain for this pitch)
 camp_site:type=tent;caravan;motorhome/static (the things we can put on this 
 pitch)
 camp_site:surface=grass/gravel/concrete

The current preferred drinking water tap approach is a node with *
amenity=drinking_water.*
In some cases a non-specific *drinking_water=yes* is added to a larger
feature like a toilet or building.

For an RV campground with water hookups at each site, I'd suggest mapping
the hookup then defining the type (e.g. electric/sewer/potable/non-potable)
outside the drinking water scheme.  An individual RV site hookup is not a
general purpose drinking water site.

-

As for the tagging scheme: some buy-in from rendering and routing groups
would really help strengthen either of the two major proposals.  What works
better for those efforts?  While we don't tag to the rendering, we want
to have renderable (and routable)  tagging.  This would involve making a
contact on appopriate mailing lists, and getting feedback there.

 I think this discussion seems a lot like the one on apartment

IMHO this is somehow different (you won't have named streets inside an
apartment building, like you might have on a camp ground). Anyway, for
apartments there is addr:door, addr:flats, addr:unit, addr:suite and maybe
more (getting these from taginfo, but at least some are also documented in
the wiki IIRR).

I'd use either ref (seems natural) or addr:lot for the lots on a campsite.
Don't use addr:housenumber if it's not an official address (i.e. if the
camping has it's own address of street and housenumber, like it normally
is).

Err, not quite.  Pretty much any large apartment community has named
streets, with addresses on those streets, albeit with red signs (permissive
streets) or black signs (restricted-access streets).  I had one such
apartment at Shadow Mountain...it had a street address and an apartment
number, but it was a little redundant since my apartment was the only
apartment with that house number.  This definitely isn't a one-off
situation, I'd almost call it the norm for large apartment complexes in the
midwest.  Larger caravan sites, especially those with larger, more
permanent trailers in the mix (there's a bit of an overlap between RV parks
and residential trailer parks in the midwest) also often have house numbers
that differ from the lot number, though the street address only corresponds
with a specific lot.  Yes, it confuses us, too, sometimes...

The apartment proposals on the Wiki try to separate out those routes (which
may be hallways) based on the notion that
different doors give you access to different ranges of apartment numbers.
There's also the 3D aspect: apartments are often stacked, unlike
campgrounds.

That said:
The internal routes on either campgrounds or apartments may not have
relevant names.
Any tagging scheme needs to account for sites scattered along nameless
roads.

Short cuts in addressing abound, and any of the following should be enough
to get you to the site:

Site 53, Camp Hypothetical
Room 53, Hypothetical Building
Apartment 53, Hypothetical Arms Apartments
Site 53, Camp Hypothetical, Road 10-L

Yes, most likely.

Of course it is reasonable to like to use routing up to the lot number.
If you ever have been at a camp site with hundrets of lots for tents,
caravans and so on, some bigger than other villages, using street names
internally as well as lot numbers, you would agree.

Nevertheless: expecting routing engines to give turn instructions up to
the lot: no, I would not expect it, but I don't expect (free) routing
engines to use traffic statistics either, although it would be great
sometimes (probably that's a feature I could think about paying for, if
I had a car).

But even if a routing engine does not navigate up to the target lot:
Being able to look at a map (yes, probably a camp site map) and finding
my way the old way (you know, when there were no electronic,
satellite-based navigation systems) is a good start.

Peter

In the case I am looking at now there is no street number for the campground. 
At least there is no sign indicating one nor have I seen a street number on an 
any map. So I guess that addr:housenumber might work. But I imagine that there 
are campgrounds that actually have an street number assigned to the whole

For what it is worth, the practice in the area I an interested in for 
dispatching emergency services is to use the campground name and then the 
written reports, if for Forest Service, use the old township and range 
location. Other agencies might be using UTM grid nowadays.

addr:unit seems like a reasonable choice for tagging the individual campsite. 
In the case where the whole campground has an street address, it seems like 
adding a unit number to the campground address is sufficient. But the Forest 
Service campgrounds in many of the areas I visit have no obvious street address 
and the service roads within the campground are usually unnamed too. So what, 
if anything, should be used for the addr:street tag?

Any objections to using a addr:housename tag set to the campground name? Seems 
like that fits Bryce's old mailman analogy as an address that might have been 
deliverable.

In the case of a house one finds the street, then the address.
For a campground the road names are less important.  You often find the

Common cases for campgrounds include:
1) The roads have names, but they exist only in a database somewhere, the
actual roads are not signed or known by those names.
2) The roads developed over time and were never planned or named, and may
in fact shift based on season.

campground loop).
4) The sites are walk-in, far from a road.

I think the EMS/911 use case is just as good as the mailman analogy.
If you wrote what you mapped on a slip of paper describing an emergency,
could the EMS crew get there without confusion?

I think rendering is the least important consideration: if there is
sufficient mapping of any particular style, the rendering will follow
starting with the maps most oriented towards camping (open cycle map, for
example, might be an early adopter).

But that said addr:housenumber has a certain elegance.  You can imagine
entering that into a generic OSM routing engine and getting a sensible
result (directions to that particular campsite).

You're not really overloading addr:housenumber in the case the campground
has postal address.  The camp itself exists on a road.  The camp sites then
relate to the camp:

name=Camp Hypothetical
addr:housenumber=153
addr:street=Hypothetical Street
website=*

addr:housenumber=153
addr:street=Camp Hypothetical
group_only=yes

Thus all campgrounds can use *addr:housenumber* for the space number.

 How about use of addr:street for the most specific subdivision
 available, usually the campground name:

 addr:housenumber=*53*
 addr:street=*Upper Pines Campground*
 addr:place=*Yosemite National Park*
 addr:district=*Mariposa County*
 addr:postcode=*95839*

 In the case of a house one finds the street, then the address.
 For a campground the road names are less important.  You often find the
 campground, then find the number.


This would be tagging for the renderer in many cases.  And still breaks
situations where the campground has a house number (ie, pretty much
everywhere in the US).

I'm thinking it might be time to revive this proposal:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Extend_camp_site

In which, the space my 5th Wheel has been for the last half a year would be
part of a site relation.  The node or closed way representing my spot would
be tagged...

addr:housenumber=801
addr:street=North Mingo Road
...
lot:number=252
caravan=designated
tent=no

 Could you illustrate so I understand?

 name=Camp Hypothetical
 addr:housenumber=153
 addr:street=Hypothetical Street
 website=*

 addr:housenumber=153
 addr:street=Camp Hypothetical
 group_only=yes

 My intent is to map to the router, not so much the renderer.

[Tagging] Tagging camp sites within campground

2013-06-16 Thread Tod Fitch
I started a discussion on this on the talk-us list but the best suggestion I've 
had, received off list, was to ask here on the tagging list.

My original thread is at 
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-us/2013-June/011066.html

Long story: While updating things in the Mt. Pinos area I found that some of 
the camp sites within a campground were tagged with amenity=parking and 
ref=SiteNumber. This seems wrong to me and clutters the typical rendering with 
parking icons where there is no real general purpose parking.

See: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=34.81433lon=-119.1004zoom=17layers=M

I've tweaked things slightly, adding some missing roads and marking everything 
as seasonal as it is closed in winter, etc. But, so far, have left the camp 
site tagging unchanged.

Looking around, I found a discussion on the talk-ca list that proposed 
addr:street=CampgroundName, addr:city=CampgroundName, 
addr:housenumber=SiteNumber

See: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ca/2010-August/003211.html

with an example at: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/5500386

This seems like tagging for the renderer as a campground is neither a street 
nor a city nor both. It does, however, show the casual map user where the 
individual sites are.

Digging some more, it seems there was a page on the wiki regarding this but I 
don't see a consensus either on the page or in the associated discussion page 
and the page has been marked as abandoned. The tagging suggested there seemed a 
bit clunky too and not in keeping with other addressing conventions.

See: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Extend_camp_site#Tagging_of_lots

There were a very limited number of campgrounds marked this way, see 
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.us/tags/camp_site=lot

One example is at 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=56.06624lon=14.45492zoom=17layers=M (the 
standard renderers don't show these objects but you can browse the data to see 
the tagging.

My current inclination would be to tag the individual campsites with 
addr:unit=SiteNumber and possibly addr:housename=CampgroundName but don't have 
any strong sense this is correct and am looking for guidance.

Thanks!
Tod
