[Tagging] Greengrocer vs grocery vs shop=food?

The team at OpenStreetMap Carto (the "Standard" map style shown on top at the main openstreetmap.org page) is considering rendering shop=food. This tag has not yet been approved and only has a stub wiki page , but it's usage has climbed over 2k

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Free drinking water by private entities

I’d suggest keeping it simple by using existing tags when possible. If a cafe or shop gives out free water for customers, tag the shop or cafe with “drinking_water=customers”. If it’s for anyone, “drinking_water=yes” is currently used. I don’t see a need for a new tag “drinking_water=ask” If

Re: [Tagging] landuse for government offices ?

It’s not necessary to have a separate landuse area if the government office is in a single building or shop. In that case the overarching “landuse” is still retail or commercial. The new landuse=civic_admin is useful when there are multiple buildings and government offices in a larger area, such

Re: [Tagging] How to tag a building constructed for a gastronomic purposes?

building=office with landuse=commercial building=school with amenity=school etc And if restaurants are a type of retail, the building type should be a subcategory of retail. On Mon, Sep 24, 2018 at 5:07 PM Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: > > > 2018-09-24 8:08 GMT+02:00 Joseph Eisenberg :

Re: [Tagging] How to tag a building constructed for a gastronomic purposes?

I’d recommend tagging all retail buildings, including fast foot and restaurants, with building=retail. A building built for fast food can easily be converted to a sit-down, full-service restaurant without any modifications to the building structure. And a restaurant in a storefront building could

Re: [Tagging] Topographic Prominence for Peaks

Right! Especially on my island, New Guinea. That’s why we need to check the height of saddles and peaks “by hand”, or better yet by survey with GPS. OSM is the right place for this data, and some map styles and database users will find it useful to analyze data about mountain areas and peaks.

[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Topographic Prominence

The tag, "prominence=*" has been in use for a number of years, but the proposal was abandoned before a vote back in 2009. I have revived the proposal and now request your comments and suggestions before bringing it to a vote: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/key:prominence

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Topographic Prominence

The small sub-summits around the caldera of a tall volcano (eg Mt Fuji) are a great example of why prominence=* is useful. I don't think it works call each of those local high points on Mt Fuji's crater a "hill", if they are all at >3000m elevation with steep slopes dropping >1000 meters down to
