BUT: 1) man_made does not make any sense for a camera - ifnot, we should also tag highways, restaurants and buildings as "man_made". 2) The two-level tagging seems exagerated in this case.

So, the synthesis of the two proposition: camera=surveillance | webcam | trafficcam | ... website=... would be easy, respect common tagging for all kind of cameras, and not discurage somebody from tagging a webcam because of the connotation of "surveillance". > > For the need for the tag, given the number of websites listing webcams for > snow conditions, I suspect that these mapped webcams would find a lot of use. > Yves Yes, I think having a map showing all webcams for weather & snow-conditions with direct link to the picture would be a very nice application and really of added value. Personally, before going hiking/skiing, I'm often looking for a webcam showing the spot I'm interested, and everytime it's a nightmare to find the right camera! So, we should promote the mapping of webcams with a clear tagging proposition! Nounours
