Thank you for your comments, Graeme > aren't you duplicating everything that exists under the > tourism=camp_site & caravan_site pages ?
This proposal is for designating features that are available at individual spots for one tent or one caravan (normally, although I suppose a group tent site could also be tagged within larger campground). They key tourism=camp_site or tourism=caravan_site should be used on the area of the whole campground or caravan site. The tag camp_site=pitch_site is only used if there are multiple designated pitches within the site. So these subkeys were made to define if there are certain amenities or facilities available at an individual pitch, eg: do you have your own picnic table, fire ring, drinking water tap, electrical outlet, and parking right at the pitch? It would also be possible to map every feature with separate nodes, eg amenity=drinking_water on a node marking the location of a water tap, but if every pitch in a large campground has a water tap, this could lead to rather crowded map renderings. I do notice that there are some alternative tags listed at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Atourism%3Dcamp_site which could be used instead, eg: bbq=yes or bbq=no and openfire=yes, openfire=no instead of camp_pitch:fire=ring/stove/no drinking_water=* instead of camp_pitch:drinking_water=* caravan=* and tent=* instead of camp_pitch:type=tent or =caravan power_supply=* instead of camp_pitch:electric=* surface=* instead of camp_pitch:surface=* Basically the difference is namespacing. Should the keys be namespaced like camp_pitch:drain=yes, or just use drain=yes? With the camp_pitch prefix it is clear that this is a feature that is associated with a single camp pitch, but this can also be found by looking at the other tags on the same feature. Either way is fine by me; I just revived this proposal so we could discuss if it was a good idea. - Joseph _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
