Can you give a few examples of what trailheads are to you? There's a clearly defined American concept, it isn't not really used much in British English.  Also what do you mean by "official" below - is there some kind of VVV list or similar?

Best Regards,

Andy

I would like to revive the trailhead proposal, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/trailhead

After discussions in the Dutch user community, a list of all Dutch trailheads was compiled and systematically entered as nodes tagged highway=trailhead, name=<official trailhead name>, tourism=information, information=board or map. Many trailheads were already present in OSM, there we just did some additional tagging.

In the US, trailheads are all maintained on OSM by a national operator. Japan has lots of trailheads, I don't know how they are maintained. In Europe, no systematical OSM-tagging appears to take place, except for the Dutch base.

I think it deserves a push.

Any thoughts on the matter?
