I would like to get this discussion back to my original question. I
used about 30 camp or caravan sites in the USA and most of them had
self-service coin-operated washers and dryers. These are services like
toilets and convenience stores for their customers. You also find
these in most US motels. The number of machines varied from one
washing machine plus one dryer to five ore more, depending on the size
of the site. In most cases they were in separate rooms labelled
"Laundry". For the convenience store on a camp site I would happily
use the shop key whereas for the laundry facilities I would prefer
something like
washing_machine=yes|NUMBER
dryer =yes|NUMBER
In alternative, simply laundry=yes
All three could go on a campsite node or areas or on buildings on the
campsite. I do not expect no-fee laundry facilities, differently from
showers.
I would see these as sub tags for laundry=yes, much like self_service
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:self_service>=/yes/no. /so they
would be used with laundry=yes tag.
A warning example is the dryer key ... that feature can also be taken as
a drying room in the UK, fruit drying in agriculture... by using it with
the laundry tag the confusion is removed.
//To document them I would use the discussion page of laundry ...
/http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:shop%3Dlaundry///This keeps
them off the 'approved' status page of laundry. /

washing_machine=yes is implied in laundry=yes, as such I would not
suggest it./

Scattered around the UK in towns such as Saffron Walden are
'launderets' (this one is not in OSM, and I hesitate to put it
in as my memory of the location is not good, though Google
looks to the correct) .. self service machines coin operated
(usually with very expensive coin operated soap powder -
better to buy that at the local supermarket).
@warin, what is the point of your comment? Are you suggesting
adding shop=launderet and if so, why?
My point is that these things are not rare and can be found in most
populated places, the names changes a bit as you can expect.
shop=laundry
automated=yes
I have little idea what automated=yes means .. where is it documented?
It could mean that you put your washing in one machine and it
automatically is washed, dried, and ironed from the one entry ... dream on.
self_service=yes
covers it nicely. In the U.S., we use the term laundromat and I
would much prefer to use that scheme but the established tag is
shop=laundry.
