Hi I think every parking area should be rendered, certainly, but I don't think the "permissive" parking areas should be labelled with an additional [P] icon.
If you're looking at the map driving in to a town, you'd want to see the main public car parks you can head into and park. If we put [P] icons on every car park, we'd have dozens and dozens of icons - at every pub, restaurant, supermarket and shop with a space to park round the back. Better just to label the main car parks in a town; the other areas will still be visible on the map to people who are looking for them, but they won't clutter up the map. Or, look at it this way. A public car-park will have a [P> sign pointing to it from the road, so put a [P] icon on the map. "Customers only" (i.e. permissive) car-parks don't, so don't.

Because this areas are also potencial targets for OSM-user. To differ public from private P-areas visually, maybe we can add a little key-symbol to the right-bottom corner of the parking-symbol. permissive parking-areas (supermarket, hotels, etc.) should also get a normal P-symbol, if parking is allowed for everyone, otherwise -> "privateParking"-symbol -- mario _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
