Heilbronn, Germany and looked for a tag to tag a locker/lockbox like this:<br>

After reading a discussion at talk-de from October 2010 [1], I decided<br>
to tag them amenity=lockbox. [2] In that discussion they decided to use<br>
the amenity key instead of tourism key.<br>
<br>
At the moment Constantin Müller (aka ubahnverleih) and I think about a<br>
consistent tagging of this amenities. At the moment there are 9 objects<br>
tagged amenity=lockbox and 30 objects tagged amenity=locker [3, 4].<br>
Because there is few difference between both tags I would like to ask<br>
the native English speakers at this list to answer me following question:<br>
<br>
What word describes a locker/lockbox at a train station (see linked<br>
image above) better? Locker or lockbox? In the discussion at talk-de<br>
Martin Koppenhöfer wrote that a lockbox can be found at a bank (for<br>
money, gold etc.). But he was not sure. [5]</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>In the US a lockbox is often associated with a bank. Businesses instruct their customers to send payments to the lockbox address. Lockers are found in train stations, fitness centers, spas, bus stations, etc. There is a new category, Amazon is using lockers to deliver products.

<div><br></div><div>Not your original question, but tagging delivery lockers would be worthwhile. </div><div><br></div><div>Clifford </div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><div>@osm_seattle<br></div><div><a href="http://osm_seattle.snowandsnow.us" target="_blank">osm_seattle.snowandsnow.us</a></div>
