Yes. Instead, I suggest that you use tourism=camp_site and put the name in name=* http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dcamp_site I would also suggest that addr:*=* is inappropriate for pitches on the site. addr:*=* would be for the campsite itself, probably the site office, but if there is no address (for the campsite) then you can't make one- just use name=* as above. How about making a set of tags for a pitch? ("pitch" is the area upon which the caravan or tent is situated). You can create a node or an area (probably a rectangle) and use ref=* for the pitch number. I don't know quite how to do the namespace, but something like: camp_site=pitch (this is a pitch for a tent or caravan or motorhome) camp_site:parking=yes/no (you can park next to your tent) camp_site:electric=yes/no (there is an electrical hookup for this pitch) camp_site:water=yes/no (there is a water tap for this pitch) camp_site:drain=yes/no (there is a grey water drain for this pitch) camp_site:type=tent;caravan;motorhome/static (the things we can put on this pitch) camp_site:surface=grass/gravel/concrete Best wishes, Andrew _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
