Re: [Tagging] Camp Ground Categories - Tagging established, unofficial and wild campings

Warin suggested new category names and implied meanings. Think it was a
quick draft, I have a counter quick draft along same lines.

Fully_Serviced = Serviced + camp kitchen + Laundry

I am sure someone can think of an anomaly.

Jan suggests a relation to link them all together, makes sense to me,

relations, seems the docs concentrate more on when not to use them.

Jan, I am really sorry to be suggesting such drastic changes to your
proposal so late but I think might be more acceptable to the community.

2015-03-25 Thread Dave Swarthout
I like the direction this is going. A couple of things come to mind though.
If we use the model requiring different amenities to flesh out the
 description of the site that will require a separate node for each of
them. The nodes will be hard to place unless you actually visit the
campground in question. Being an armchair mapper I use the Internet to
determine a great many of the details of the things I map. I won't be able
to add nodes using that scenario. The category approach might be easier
except in the cases where a site has all of the basics but only some of the
luxury items; which category applies?

Relations make a lot of sense except they are tricky to get right. Noobies
will inevitably screw them up. Plus, I'm still looking for a way to force
simple site relations to render on my Garmin. I realize this is not a
propoer issue to raise here but I also know some of you are wanting a way
to use the data you've added to OSM to help find these places at vacation
time.

Just a few thoughts to add to the mix...

When we were looking for a campsite, we often visited [1]. The list of
features they show is much longer than any of you have in mind.
Some of the criteria we based our holiday on, were the size of the pitches
and whether dogs are allowed ( a number, not just yes/no)
For other people the availability of animation for children is important
(should be part of deluxe IMHO).

Should all this information be available in OSM ?

2015-03-25 Thread Jan van Bekkum
What we discuss here is a classification of campgrounds. In addition we
need tags that spell out available facilities. Those tags should be
separate discussions (this is already complex enough to bring to closure
:-( ). See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:tourism%3Dcamp_site
and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Extend_camp_site
for ideas on the tble.

Ideas enough, but consensus...

 Using a relation in any case you see all amenities: when I find a
 campground on the map I see a restaurant in its direct neighbourhood, etc.,
 even if the relation isn't handled at all by the renderer. I am not so
 afraid of mapping relations. The site relation is very simple.



 If I don't know the exact position of the buildings I just use different
 nodes close to one another; this is not worse than using a single node for
 a campground.

Indeed Dave, thats my worry with this model. Same applies for survey
people in many cases. I'd need to walk around the whole ground, people
may well ask what I'm up to ?

IMHO these amenities are not stand alone, they are attributes of the
camp ground itself. For things like fire places and BBQ, might be one
for every pitch. I'm not into micro mapping !

And if we map them as individual nodes, should they be marked
private ? Don't want them rendered in some cases, people may they
think they are public assess. But the Camp operator might want to map
his whole ground and that would make sense. Sigh 


 Relations make a lot of sense except they are tricky to get right.
 Noobies will inevitably screw them up. 

Indeed. Especially as there is no example of the tagging on the wiki. An
active discouragement to their use ?

I think it is better than the single node as it makes it easy for a 
mapper to move the relevant node to the correct position when known.


Need to start another topic for this? That would separate it out from 
established, unofficial and wild campings.

Dave,

 camp ground itself. For things like fire places and BBQ, might be one

 This is correct  for BBQ's, but not for big amenities like restaurants,
bars and shops, which sometimes are and sometimes are not accessible for
the general public. This is useful information.


 And if we map them as individual nodes, should they be marked
 private ? Don't want them rendered in some cases, people may they
 think they are public assess. But the Camp operator might want to map

 Why can't we make an example then. Site relations are much simpler than
relations for bus routes and turn restrictions .

Yes, absolutely. But we need develop a sensible model so it can go in
easily and be used easily. And we are a long way from there IMHO.

Do need active involvement from campers, we are a diverse lot ...
