Hi
In the UK we have field shelters for horses. It can be very difficult to get
planning permission for a fixed building in a field so people have these
shelters that are movable. This gets round the planning restriction. Some
people do move them around to protect their fields so they

In the UK local authorities are responsible for public rights of way. Paths,
bridleways etc. There are so called Best Value Performance Indicators (BVPI)
that require them to survey a certain % length of these each year to measure
the ease of use of the network.

As a relatively new mapper I am rather confused about this discussion about
source. To quote the wiki for the tag, source:
The source tag is a meta-tag, used for categorising the source of
information added to the database. It is not usually used for
rendering, but it assists with the
that the
wiki is correct and up to date until it is changed.
Stay tuned, hang in there, and keep mapping!
Thanks, Jeff

Sorry, but the picture is not a stable. It is, in the UK, a field shelter.
The other problem with mapping some of these is they are often designed to be

In the UK we tend not to have trailheads. We do however have a variety of

One thing that you may also need to consider is that the timetables and

From a tourists perspective it is quite important to know whether it is self
catering accommodation or not. It is also important to know whether it is a
single building unit (i.e. house,cottage,chalet) as opposed to a number of
units in a building (i.e. apartments). I would be inclined to use
As a humble surveyor and editor I would ask that we have tourism=apartment at
the first level. An apartment is quite distinct from a hotel and a guest_house
and we already separate out these along with motel, hostel and chalet at this
level. The only debate for myself would be is at to
I thought I should own up as to someone that has used tourism=apartments.
Although I am from the UK this was actually in Croatia as this type of

Could the more general description found for mountain hut

In the UK what you describe sounds like a “field margin”.
Here is an example web page, but search on google under “field margins” for
more information.

I'm trying to work out exactly how a generic field would be mapped using this
new tag. I am assuming you would have a way that marks the field boundary and
in many cases this would be tagged with the barrier=fence/wall/hedge. This is

The Dartmoor Letter Box dates back 50 years. It was setup as a letter box.
i.e. you would leave a card or letter and the next person to visit would take
the latter and the put it in an proper letter box. My experience dates backs
35 years. If they are still used in this way then perhaps
It would appear that the rendering for a bridge might include the parapet.
Much of my local mapping however includes barriers along roads. These are

In think the word you may be looking for is "ornamental".

Could you use landuse=field? The wiki suggests it has been abandoned but
perhaps it should be used in the context. Presumably you could then add,
field=ornamental_flowers.

landuse=flowerbed already exists in the wiki. Personally I would just use this
but if another tag is to be developed one consideration with regard to using an
"landuse" tag is, should it be more widely applicable?
"landuse=ornamental_planting" for example with another tag to describe the type
A requested, a few thoughts.
This can get vary complicated and confusing given the size and complexity of
many hospitals and the different local naming that can be used.
You may want to consider using two tags. One for the actual name used within
the hospital to describe the facility and
flowers for display then it
would probably be a type of meadow. You do get "flower meadows" in the UK but
they are normally wild flower displays.

Do you need a landuse tag for the last two as they would be called gardens (in
the UK) if people can move round them. Could you not just use leisure=garden
for these?

In the UK "Letterboxing" has been a practice on Dartmoor for quite a few years.

As suggested it isn't a common practice when it comes to summits in the UK.

I’m slightly confused by this discussion. I live in a “hamlet” which is within
a “dispersed settlement”. “Dispersed settlement” describes the pattern of
isolated dwellings, farmyards, hamlets, villages etc. on a much larger scale.
We don’t really seem to have tags that currently describe
