I have walked many "Camino" sections in Italy. The "checkpoints" are just stamps, you can get them at many shops, hotels, restaurants, tourist info points and the like on the way. They will stamp anything for anyone who asks. There is no register, nothing is checked. I would not call them checkpoints and I would certainly not attempt to map them. In Nederland, I don't know about shops, hotels and restaurants. On the other hand, there are special places like convents and some churches where pilgrims can stay the night and eat very cheap or free. They would check and maybe register the pilgrim's passport, I guess. These points would merit rendering and routing, I think. I don't know if it helps to tie it to a particular route though. It's a POI passed by one or more routes. The map can show it, routers can use it and it can be exported in a gpx or kml. It's one of those things I would not map unless I can be reasonably sure it will be maintained and used for actual rendering, routing and/or export. _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging >
