</span> The name works well for the intended use.<br>
<br>
However it limits the use of the tag.<br>
For example .. a tourist might be able to charge their
phone/etc in a cafe/pub when they stop for a drink/meal.
It may not be a 'designated device charging station' but
the hardware is there.<br>

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>
