I'd be fine with this. When I use a coin laundry it's either, (a) I'm
traveling (in which case, the hotel likely has one) - or (b) I'm washing a
duvet or sleeping bag. If I'm looking for the second case, I need to find a
laundry with a machine that can handle it. I don't think that needs to
imply a detailed taxonomy of laundry equipment.

Although I am personally not so interested in the machines, when the 
laundromats are not mapped correctly (google maps and Apple maps was missing 
the 4 closest coin laundry places to my residences when I searched so I added 
them in both) it is very frustrating.

If someone was looking to wash a giant bedspread or duvet, knowing there is 
only one laundromat in town with a giant machine would be very useful.  

Poi information is steadily being added and expanded upon in commercial apps 
and OSM. I can tag the genus of a single tree in OSM. 

All this talk is to think about *if* we were to map the number of machines and 
some rough idea of size - what information could we show that would be useful 
in a POI display for a laundromat? How could we classify machines in a easy to 
map but useful way? What units of measurement.  Specially machines might be one 
of them. 

Comparing it to food menu items at a restaurant is wrong. Takeaway, regional 
food type, and other restaurant informTion is currently mapped.

I am not sure that I have ever washed a sleeping bag. I have owned a few, and I

People looking for machines for various reasons - maybe having "oversize" for

understanding it.

Drum volumes are very different between front-loaders and top-loaders that
will wash the same loads.

In any case,  since I have laundry equipment at home, what I'm usually
searching for is "laundromat with a large-capacity front-loading machine" -
since that's what I'll need for a sleeping bag or a down-filled duvet. The
idea that the "large capacity" machine may be rated for a nominal "12 kg"
is ridiculous, since my summer sleeping bags weighs less than a kg dry, and
the winter one about 1.5 kg, but the volumes of a top-loading "standard
capacity" (6 kg?) machine and a front-loading "large capacity" machine
don't compare directly either. I'm not sure, given our data model, how I'd
state such a query. (Today, I ask Google. :P)

By the way, it must be a front-loader. Never, ever wash a lightweight down
sleeping bag in a top-loader - that's just begging to tear the baffles.

AFAIK, in Belgium the drum volume is never mentioned, only the
kilograms.  I also wonder whether it is possible that 2 machines with
the same drum volume exist, but have different kg because the motor of
one of them is less powerful.

I guess the preferred unit will depend on the country where you are mapping.

The issue is that though the drum volume is easily measured in cubic feet, the 
"kg" rating for the same capacity drum varies from manufacturer to 
manufacturer, but there seems to be in a small range of variance. 

The same variance occurs as to how many pounds makes up a nominal "load" 

The idea originally came from small washers a long time ago, and larger "double 
load" washers many people buy are larger than they used to be. 

From a message board: 

"It's hard comparing capacity in weight(kg) to volume (cf). Samsung has a chart 
that shows their 4.0 cf washers handling 14kg, and their 4.5cf washers handling 
16kg. That puts the equation as:

Capacity in Cubic Feet = Capacity in Kilograms / 3.5"

Other people noted it is kg/3 for some machines and kg/3.5 quoted by Samsung. 

A washing machine repair man on a paid question answer service was quoted as:

"So [4.3cu ft] is actually a very large kilogram capacity to what you might be 
used to since most countries that use kilos to measure units typically have 
compact washers. 4.3 cu ft is equivalent to 12 kilos." 

This was a 2.8 ratio - a conservative estimate, but is kg/3 if it is just 4.0 
cu ft. 

Then reading a laundromat operator's forum, 

http://www.coinlaundry.org/openforumlink/community-home/viewthread?GroupId=43=3707=digestviewer#bm0

"There is pretty good evidence that a "load" is about 10lbs of laundry, but the 
manufacturers market the washer as holding more - but is actually unable to 
clean a normal mix clothes that weigh as much as they rate."
And 
"The industry generally allows about 6 lbs. per cubic foot capacity but a cubic 
foot actually holds about 4 lbs. of normal laundry."
And
"I have asked this question several times over many years and always told a 
single load is 15 lbs of dry clothes."

One person posed a picture of a manufacturers documentation for "30lb 3-load 
commercial washers" That worked out to 4cubic feet = 3 loads, and the ratios 
were roughly the same for their larger washers (60lb 6 load washers). 


Our previous suggestion that it is kg/3 looks like:

4 cubic feet = 12kg/3 or ~26.5 pounds/3 

To fit the manufacturer's guidelines, 

4 cubic feet = 13kg/3.4 or ~30 pounds/3.4 

This is closer to Samsung's guidance. 

I think it is safe to be conservative, but following the manufacturer's signage 
is probably more consistent, since that is what most people will see when 
mapping. 

So: 

1 cubic foot = 3.5kg or 7.7 pounds of laundry
One load = 10 lbs / 4.54 kg of laundry. 

Mapping the drum volume is best, then KG/lbs, then "loads". We can fuzzily 
convert between them - at least as well as the people in the industry can.

Reminds me of going to Liberty Laundry and asking the attendant the first
time it came up, "How many loads is a fursuit, anyway?"  He eyeballed it
and said, "You want the second largest; it'll probably go off balance if
you use the largest and might get damaged in a smaller one.

This probably isn't making it simpler, but seems when it comes to laundry
in the US, there's not really a set "load" size, even though every machine
ever at a commercial laundry shows capacities in "loads."

I don't think the variation would worry most people ...it is just an indication

Maybe it is best to have a single unit (kg?) and have the data provider

The mappers need to be able to enter the data they have directly, in what ever 
units they have, this minimises any possibility of input error.

Any calculation should be done by the data user .. into whatever units they 
desire.
Correlation between the units should not be handled by 1,000,002 mappers .. 
they may have different ideas of the correlation.
This helps in that there is only one area of calculation .. and that can be 
easily corrected if required.
Where no conversion is needed, say cu ft to cu ft, then there will be no 
calculation .. and this would probably be the case for a local map.

Great!

Uhh... sidewasher was my stupidity.
Front loader is the correct term.

All the US residential top-loading washing machines and the old 
laundromat ones I have seen I have seen all have agitators, the thing 
that sticks up in the center.


Most of the residential washers in Japan do not. Their drum is too 
narrow (40cm?) To have an agitator. The bottom of the drum spins (a 
very weak agitator), but there is no true column agitator.


http://www.cypick.com/item/10kg-auto-top-toshiba-washing-machine-mesin-basuh-refurbish-recondition-.html

 Some people want an agitator machine for washing heavily soiled 
clothes or cleaning cloths, so some laundromats have a single 
top-loading agitator in the corner here.


Maybe they are common throughout the world, but such it was the first 
time I have seen a small and agitator-free washing machine.


I think I had one 'agitator' machine that not only had a rotating 
central column but the drum too moved.. lots of things to ware out. 
Replaced with a front loader .. my cloths last a lot longer.
Not all agitators are central columns .. the hover twin tub has the 
agitator on a wall. These are popular where water is in short supply as 
the spin tub waste water can be put back into the wash tub thus saving 
water.


So I think the top loading/front loading should be a tag that can be 
used. Then if wanted further details on the machine could be detailed?
Personally ... I am usually just looking for a washing machine .. any 
washing machine to get the mud off!




Since there are varying styles of machines, and some are common one 
place and absent others, then I would like to tag them differently. 
And the idea of separating capacity seems good too. I suggest 
supporting the three common methods (kg/load/volume) because people 
will have no idea how to tag, interpret or understand the information. 
People tagging or looking for "load" won't know what a KG of laundry is.


Mappers can enter miles instead of kilometres .. so they too should be 
able to enter the units they have into the capacity of the laundry machine.

I don't think that mapping the capacity of washing machines in
campsite laundry facilities is data that is useful in OSM. It's
difficult to establish in the first place and the data is very
perishable. The machines have a very limited life span. Data
maintenance will be a serious problem.



industrial quality washing machines have an extended life span 
compared to home machines, as they are still built to be serviced, 
while home machines are built to be thrown away or have complex 
components replaced (instead of disassembling into small parts and 
replace only what has failed). Data maintance is possible for every 
kind of data, but it will done only for those data where people are 
interested in, if people are interested in tagging the details of 
washing machine availability, why not (I'd prefer to have these 
extended details on the laundry room, not on the whole campsite).




Usually the replacement machine would be of a similar size (other wise 
it won't fit the space).


If there is no suggested method of tagging it then mappers will use 
their own individual method to tag it and this leads to all sorts of 
problems.

Great!

Uhh... sidewasher was my stupidity. 
Front loader is the correct term. 

All the US residential top-loading washing machines and the old laundromat ones 
I have seen I have seen all have agitators, the thing that sticks up in the 
center. 

Most of the residential washers in Japan do not. Their drum is too narrow 
(40cm?) To have an agitator. The bottom of the drum spins (a very weak 
agitator), but there is no true column agitator.

http://www.cypick.com/item/10kg-auto-top-toshiba-washing-machine-mesin-basuh-refurbish-recondition-.html

 Some people want an agitator machine for washing heavily soiled clothes or 
cleaning cloths, so some laundromats have a single top-loading agitator in the 
corner here. 

Maybe they are common throughout the world, but such it was the first time I 
have seen a small and agitator-free washing machine. 

Since there are varying styles of machines, and some are common one place and 
absent others, then I would like to tag them differently. And the idea of 
separating capacity seems good too. I suggest supporting the three common 
methods (kg/load/volume) because people will have no idea how to tag, interpret 
or understand the information. People tagging or looking for "load" won't know 
what a KG of laundry is.

industrial quality washing machines have an extended life span compared to
home machines, as they are still built to be serviced, while home machines
are built to be thrown away or have complex components replaced (instead of
disassembling into small parts and replace only what has failed). Data
maintance is possible for every kind of data, but it will done only for
those data where people are interested in, if people are interested in
tagging the details of washing machine availability, why not (I'd prefer to
have these extended details on the laundry room, not on the whole campsite).

I don't think that mapping the capacity of washing machines in campsite
laundry facilities is data that is useful in OSM. It's difficult to
establish in the first place and the data is very perishable. The machines
have a very limited life span. Data maintenance will be a serious problem.

I thought a load of laundry was the amount that could fit into a washing 
machine at one time.  Therefore, every washing machine that has ever been 
manufactured in the history of the world and every washing machine that will 
ever be manufactured between now and the end of time, no matter how big or how 
small, has a capacity of EXACTLY one load.  If I am wrong, please quantify how 
much is in one load, in any unit of measurement you like: volume, mass or 
anything else, metric or imperial.  No search engine can seem to give me a 
straight answer.


I see LG makes a "two-load" machine that can do two loads at once in separate 
compartments (such as whites/colours) but that doesn't seem to be what's 
referred to here.

The default should be SI units ... like kilometre km for distance, but other 
units like miles can be used if the unit is appended.

Washing machines sizing looks like they use mass (kg) for some places (UK,

All washing machines have a load capacity in kg.  It may not be printed on the 
front of the unit but it can be found in the owners' manual or online.  I would 
caution against the key "Laundromat:10kg_sidewasher" because they aren't always 
round numbers like that.  For example this triple-load machine is 13.6 kg:


http://www.macgray.com/pdf/specs/dexter/WCAD30KCS-12.pdf


Perhaps the following tagging scheme like this would be more appropriate:

Laundromat:sidewasher=5

Laundromat:sidewasher:capacity=13.6

Laundromat:sidewasher:colour=

Laundromat:sidewasher:cost=


And if there are multiple styles of machine with different capacities it could 
have a tag like Laundromat:sidewasher:1 and Laudromat:sidewasher:1:capacity etc.


It's a little complex but I'd imagine this scheme would work anywhere in the 
world.

That wouldn't work too well in the US.  Here, capacities are

I agree!  The extended campground proposal has a separate tag for both. 

Side note:

Laundromat:10kg_dryer=8
Laundromat:20kg_dryer=2

Would be the closest laundromat to my house, Kg are approx. 

I have never really read up on the tagging scheme, maybe they do. 

Traditional Japanese residences have washing machines only and line-dry 
clothes. Even in the winter (snow on the ground, but sunny today) people have 
laundry out under deck covers or carports (so many houses have carports, almost 
none have garages for tax reasons). 
There are washing machines that dry 1/2 a load, and there are dryers for sale, 
but the "average" Japanese household doesn't have a dryer. My parents' US 
household hasn't line-dried anything in 25 years - regular household washers 
and driers in the US are giant compared to the small 7kg laundry /55L water 
washer we have here (they measure capacity in Kg of laundry, dunno how it is 
done elsewhere). There are "western" washers for sale, but they are exceedingly 
rare. 

So the laundromats in Japan have oversized  side-loading industrial washers for 
futons, as most houses can't wash futons, and usually there are more dryers 
than washers (at least here in suburbia), as when it is raining, people bring 
loads of wet laundry down to dry them. The large driers can handle ~20kg of wet 
laundry. 

Here is an average suburban Japanese coin-laundry on some blog: 
http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/harukien1/9914343.html


Having the type of machine and its capacity and count, and specialty machines 
(agitator washing machines, sneaker washers, etc) are great. Agitator (with the 
center post) is very rare here, even at laundromats. Top-loading household ones 
don't have agitators, so what would be "standard" at a us laundromat 
(top-loading agitator machines) is a rare specialty machine at a Japanese Coin 
Laundry. Seems dryers are that way for you =}

Re: [Tagging] self-service laudry machines a camp and caravan sites

2017-02-11 Thread Dave Swarthout
@John, An observation:

It's a funny thing but since I began traveling a number of years ago, I
noticed that while dryers are quite common in the U.S., they are less
common in the rest of the world, especially in poorer countries. A very few
laundry shops here in Thailand have dryers, most do not. Probably 99% of
clothing in Thailand is dried outdoors in the sun. People who use automated
washers take their washed and still wet clothes home where they hang them
out to dry. That's not too practical in wintry climates, agreed, but
Americans use dryers even in the summer.

I think a subtag for dryers is appropriate and could be useful.

Re: [Tagging] self-service laudry machines a camp and caravan sites

2017-02-11 Thread John Willis
I think the individual tags in the extended camping proposal covers this. 

If there is a coin-op machine or two for campers to use, then tag the amenity 
on the campground's node/polygon  - the suggested washing_machine=yes dryer=yes 
tags. 

If there is some other scheme for mapping the machines and their job, I should 
be updated (like how people use vending+object to map a lot of different 
things). 

If it is some shop/building that services the larger community or provides it 
to a larger set of people, tag it as a shop=laundry. 

I can't imagine it is good to tag an individual machine or an amenity of larger 
building as a shop. 

Most large apartment complexes in San Diego have a small coin-op washer-dryer 
room. I would _never_tag that as shop=* anything. It is not a shop. It is for 
residents only. It shouldn't be in the tag space for a laundromat, or a million 
wrong locations will pop up when searching. 

I think it is difficult to map an amenity of a place with the tags we would use 
for shops. 

There is a difference between a vending machine and a cafe - though both serve 
coffee. 

Both should be available for tagging.

the wiki says it is used for both typologies:

"Might be self service coin operated, with service staff for drop off. Also
known as a "laundromat" or "launderette"

I would think shop=laundry means there is  some sort of service provided

for you for a fee.


As you say, thats not the same thing as having machines available at a

laundry=yes|no|fee.

You can't drive into a camp site and start using facilities for campers as a random 
visitor. It is not a "shop" open to the public operated by the camp site.
You can use a shop for visitors - but not amenities for paying customers.  A 
gift shop in a lobby, a restaurant operated by a hotel are shops operated as 
shops, intended for use by a wider set of people than the guests.



Depends.

 Certain camp sites in Australia allow people not staying to use facilities .. 
for a small charge.
Usually the shower and laundry are popular, particularly with long distance 
truck drivers.

Certain hotels in Africa allow people to camp and use their facilities .. again 
for a small fee.
These are popular as local camp sites are non existent and security is poor if 
'free camping'.

It would be like shop=rental for the towel they loan to you poolside at a 
hotel, or shop=cafe for the coffeemaker in a break room, or shop=cleaning for 
the laundry service offered to guests at a hotel at the front desk. 

If I searched for dry cleaning and was directed to a hotel's laundry service 
for guests, I would be upset. Looking for a coin laundry/laundromat and being 
directed to the machine for campers behind a shed at a campsite is equally as 
wrong. 

The extended camp site proposal is great.
