Back in November of 2010 AM909 mapped much of the McGill
campground using amenity=parking and ref=SiteNumber to show
individual campsites. See, for example
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/988132518/history
This seems wrong to me. About like mapping each driveway
in a subdivision with a parking icon. However I have not
found a better solution on the wiki nor by searching taginfo.
The closest I've come is this discussion on the talk-ca
archives:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ca/2010-August/003211.html
with an example at
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/5500386
I like the idea of using addr:housenumber=SiteNumber but the
use of addr:city=CampgroundName as well as
addr:street=CampgroundName seems suspect to me. I think this
was done so that the location could be searched for using
geographic queries, but isn't that a bit like "tagging for
the renderer"?
What would be the best practice for this in the US?
Thanks!
