<br>
I just went to add a bootsale site that had moved (when I found the<br>
old site wasn't mapped), and didn't know how to tag it. I found<br>
nothing in the wiki, so then checked taginfo and most occurrences of<br>
"boot sale" are in names, so I picked a few to see what combinations<br>
they used. There is a considerable mixture.<br>
<br>
I have found <br>
landuse=commercial<br>
landuse=farmland<br>
tourism=attraction<br>
shop=variety_store<br>
and that was only checking about four different examples. One of<br>
those also used amenity=car_boot_sale on the same site.<br>
<br>
As the site I was trying to add was farmland previously I considered<br>
landuse=farmland surface=grass, but is it still farmland if set<br>
aside for car boots? I thought maybe not so went for landuse=grass<br>
for now, and for good measure added amenity=car_boot_sale the name<br>
of the boot sale and a link to their Facebook page. I may yet edit<br>
it in JOSM to add opening hours.<br>
<br>
But I thought I'd ask here in case we could come up with a more<br>
consistent set of tags. There are a number of local sites I could<br>
then make consistent. But I guess not all are on grassed (former)<br>
farmland like they are around me, so perhaps landuse shouldn't be<br>
part of the solution?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
