Hi! I recently added a veterinary to OSM by setting amenity=veterinary as approved in August 2008; see:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Veterinary http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dveterinary Unfortunately, veterinaries are not yet being rendered by Osmarender or Mapnik. The proposal contained a paw icon to be rendered, whereas a different icon was proposed on the same wiki page by Ulfl: http://www.gpsdrive.de/development/map-icons/classic.big/health/veterinary.png The second icon is also used by JOSM and commonly used in Germany (a V for veterinary (?) and a rod of Asclepius). Are there any plans for including vet support in terms of an icon on the official maps? It has been over a year since the proposal was approved and I couldn't find anything new about its progress for being supported by Mapnik or Osmarender. Is there anything that prevents adding an icon? If rendered, an icon should be shown e.g. there: (node 603392630, not visible on current tiles) http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.43027&lon=13.2372&zoom=17&layers=B000FTF According to http://osmdoc.com/en/tag/amenity/veterinary there are currently 835 global nodes with amenity=veterinary; adding rendering support could be useful. By the way, I think emergency=yes|no could also make sense on amenity=veterinary but I don't know if that's something that should be rendered as well (currently only 3 nodes use that unapproved tag). It's not yet in the wiki for veterinaries but for hospitals. However, a proposal for different hospital icons has been abandoned, but I wanted to point out that possibility if someone is going to implement the missing rendering of veterinaries anyway (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Hospital:_Emergency ).
