    If they are usefull and of interest to the public then I'd map them.
    Where they cannot be used ..I'd not map them. <br>
    <br>
    Another case. <br>
    Camp sites in their shower block sometimes provide power sockets for
    hair driers/shavers .. they can also be used for device charging. <br>
    Oh .. those with laundries may have power sockets for irons ... <br>
