I agree the tags are a bit limited, but I think the distinction between restaurant and fast_food is usually a good one. amenity=food doesn't show that it is prepared food, ready to eat rather than a shop selling the raw materials. Adding the extra tags to restaurant and fast_food will work by improving what we have rather than creating a new, parallel set of tags.
Is it worth capturing?: yes. This would be useful for someone creating a tourist map of an area for example. cheers, Chris ----- Original Message ---- > From: Nick Barnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, 9 September, 2008 10:55:22 > Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] Restaurants/Fast Food > > > Ed Loach wrote: > > Is it only me that finds these two classifications a bit limiting? > > No. > > > amenity=restaurant > > takeaway=yes/no > > drive_thru=yes/no > > delivery=yes/no > > > > and where you can't eat in > > > > amenity=takeaway > > drive_thru=yes/no > > delivery=yes/no > > What about: > > amenity=food > eatin=yes/no > takewaway=yes/no > drivethrough=yes/no > delivery=yes/no > fastfood=yes/no > foodtype=FREEFORM (e.g. 'chinese', 'indian', 'chicken', 'tasteless > cardboard' etc.) > > > Mind you, is it really worth capturing this information? > > Nick. > > > _______________________________________________ > talk mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
