I believe you are commenting on the "Key:camp_pitch" proposal, which I posted about one day after the Camp_site=camp_pitch proposal. It's easy to get them mixed up. I did it just this morning myself! > A surface is just a surface after all and the information, that it is the > surface of a camp_pitch is already given by the camp_site=camp_pitch > tagging.

I think that's a reasonable point. This namespaced tagging was not my idea, I'm just reposting it as a new proposal. I agree that just using keys like surface=* and drinking_water=* would be simpler. > Looking at the additional tags I would also suggest to add the following for > nodes: > * width > * length > * direction > > Rationale for this is, that at least here in Germany there are wooden > pitches in some backcountry campsites where this information might be very > useful. Sure, this could be suggested on the final wiki page. I can see length being especially important for caravan and motorhome/RV pitches; usually you need to check that the site is long enough for the vehicle. I'm not sure if direction is necessary. How would the direction tag be used? If the pitch has a clear rectangular shape it could be mapped as an area. But many tent pitches do not have clearly verifiable boundaries; these should be mapped as nodes. - Joseph _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
