(First, that's a discussion for osmand or carto; the tag is fine even if renderers do something unwanted.) In the US, nursing home is basically for people who need skilled nursing, which means one or more of unable to self-transfer need an nurse to administer medications (anything beyond someone putting pills in front of you) cognitively impaired so while there are people with walkers, the notion that nursing home and disability are very related is really how it is. It could be that the US word "nursing home" and what you mean (UK?) are different. We also have "assisted living", where a cane or walker is more typical, not needing a nurse, and lower levels of cognitive impairment. There a person/cane icon is probably more appropriate. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
