"chemical toilet waste disposal unit" is the more normal UK usage, along with grey and black waste water disposal, be that marine or land. Dump stations would seem to be American, although the Ozies seem to switch between the two. Dump station DOES seem to be specifically for hooking up RV and other vehicle pump out hoses and NOT for the safe disposal of chemical toilet waste. The two are rather different facilities! As I said ... if a point is still marked on the ground as an 'Elsan Point' then I would expect to maintain that name, but I'm not happy with the way a generic alternative is being developed. I don't have time to monitor the 'tagging' list ... I'll just carry on following local practice and sanitary_dump_station does not fit the bill, but I'm not sure just what is a suitable alternative to correctly tag the facilities I've got survey notes on for our local caravan sites ... what would have been legal as an elsan_point in the past would probably be shut down by the local council today anyway! -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
