There are two types of "big sides" (as far as charging is concerned): USB 1/2/3 which we all know, and then there's USB type C - new, reversible - not compatible cable-wise.
Also the max. charging current might be useful to know. At 500mA it takes a loooooooong time to charge a tablet - so knowing there's a 2.1A source round the corner is important information! And then there's the Power Delivery specs, which allow for up to 5A @ 20V. Don't know if there are any public charging points with PD but it sure would be useful to know, if you happen to own a device which can use it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#USB_Power_Delivery //colin On 2015-05-24 16:45, Dave Swarthout wrote: > Or is is what Todd mentioned (his post came just after I sent mine)?

I tend to agree but it makes rendering more difficult, maybe we should make indeed a transition to vehicle_charging_station Bit long winded... how about vehicle_charging .. for motor vehicles bicycle_charging .. for bicycles and power_socket .. for power sockets ... the are all different things .. with different appearances and requirements. This would get away from those presently tagged and provide for a clean definition. They could all use the same socket= tag just as they would use the same access, fee tags. ---------------- Maybe the boaties will have boat_charging too? :-) Just thinking of the future. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging [1] -- Dave Swarthout Homer, Alaska Chiang Mai, Thailand Travel Blog at http://dswarthout.blogspot.com [2] -- Dave Swarthout Homer, Alaska Chiang Mai, Thailand Travel Blog at http://dswarthout.blogspot.com [2] _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging [1] Links: ------ [1] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging [2] http://dswarthout.blogspot.com
