The tagging numbers are skewed because I tediously edited every odd variant I could find, mostly outside of Europe. Those included: name=RV Dump (with other tags) name=RV Dump Station (with no other tags) amenity=dump_station amenity=dump-station amenity=dumpstation amenity=dump amenity=RV Dump amenity=fuel;dump station;convenience highway=service + service=dumpstation shop=fuel;dump station;convenience shop=fuel;services=dump station;mini-mart;propane leisure=caravan_site + note=Motorhome dump station recycling=dump-station recycling=waste_basket + note=RV Dump Station recycling=waste_basket + waste=excrement. amenity=waste_disposal + waste=excrement (which variously meant pump-out, dog_bin, and dump station). tourism=caravan_site + note=Dumping place tourism=information + description=RV dump man_made=wastewater_plant + tag=Motorhome dumping station amenity=dump (mostly refers to garbage dumps, but a few were RV holding tank emptying spots). The term "toilets:disposal" was something I coined a few years back for walk-up toilets.: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Sanitary_Dump_Station http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:amenity%3Dtoilets Some 15 odd uses of the term *elsan_point* are present: and none outside of the UK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apparently some people care a lot what the name of the tag is. I am not among those people. I care that the feature has rational tagging, as to attract enough interested from the osm-carto maintainers to actually render it: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/1466 This feature is glaringly missing from campground and canal maps rendered with OSM data. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monolithic tagging matching the desire of richardwest would be fine with me: *amenity=elsan_point* *amenity=pump-out* *amenity=rv_dump_station* *waterway=elsan_point* *waterway=pump-out* Plus the same for "toilets" "drinking_water", and "fuel" (in particular waterway=fuel). In that scheme, *waterway=elsan_point* + *amenity=elsan_point* is a sensible combination. Access tags are need to cover the case of facilities available only to overnight guests, since that case is so common.
