All washing machines have a load capacity in kg. It may not be printed on the front of the unit but it can be found in the owners' manual or online. I would caution against the key "Laundromat:10kg_sidewasher" because they aren't always round numbers like that. For example this triple-load machine is 13.6 kg:
http://www.macgray.com/pdf/specs/dexter/WCAD30KCS-12.pdf Perhaps the following tagging scheme like this would be more appropriate: Laundromat:sidewasher=5 Laundromat:sidewasher:capacity=13.6 Laundromat:sidewasher:colour= Laundromat:sidewasher:cost= And if there are multiple styles of machine with different capacities it could have a tag like Laundromat:sidewasher:1 and Laudromat:sidewasher:1:capacity etc. It's a little complex but I'd imagine this scheme would work anywhere in the world. ________________________________ From: Mark Wagner <mark+...@carnildo.com> Sent: February 12, 2017 3:38 PM To: tagging@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [Tagging] self-service laudry machines a camp and caravan sites On Sun, 12 Feb 2017 10:28:17 +0900 John Willis <jo...@mac.com> wrote: > Javbw > > Side note: > > I imagine laundromats could have a whole > > Laundromat:foobar=n scheme. > > Laundromat:10kg_dryer=8 > Laundromat:20kg_dryer=2 > Laundromat:10kg_sidewasher=3 > Laundromat:20kg_sidewasher=1 > Laundromat:shoe_washer=1 > Laundromat:shoe_dryer=1 > > Would be the closest laundromat to my house, Kg are approx. That wouldn't work too well in the US. Here, capacities are typically measured in notional "loads": the average laundromat would have a large number of "single-load" machines, a few "double-load" or "triple-load" machines, and possibly a side-loading "five-load" machine for things like quilts or sleeping bags. -- Mark _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging Tagging Info Page - OpenStreetMap<https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging> lists.openstreetmap.org Your email address: Your name (optional): You may enter a privacy password below.
