tourist cabins, mountain hut, shelter, etc.
Hi.
Which keys and values should i use to denote places/items alog a hiking track?
In particular i think of
hotell, motell, camping site or similar.
mountain hut, cabin, etc. (with service, with self service, with no service).
wind shelters, (usually 3 walls and a roof). good for a break during the day, usually not for staying over night.

Re: tourist cabins, mountain hut, shelter, etc.
hotel , camp_site and motel are already defined for the tag "tourism", so I would just extend that with some additional values.

I think you wish to map more than the tagging scheme has currently. I'd propose them if I were you. I don't think a hotel and a wind shelter should be muddled up, cause some people might be anoyed on arival.

Re: tourist cabins, mountain hut, shelter, etc.
ok, will propose a few, can i do it right here or should i send it somewhere else?
anyway, here goes the proposals:
tourism:cabin (simple accomodation, comparable with hostel only in mountain areas or similar) *1
tourism:wind_shelter *2
* it would also be very good if there was a possibility to add more information about cabins, such as:
service_grade:full
service_grade:self-service
service_grade:no-service
somewhat similar to what the norwegians do, please see:
http://www.turistforeningen.no/english/ … fo_id=3610
The definitions used in norway are very helpful when planning hikes, however i do not know if similar systems would be applicable in other parts of the world?
for sure, sweden uses a similar classification, the norwegian is more informative however.
*2
for wind shelters there are basically two types i come to think of. open and closed.
shelter_type:open (3 walls and a roof, for those who know swedish/norwegian i think of:vindskydd/gapahuk. fireplace usually in direct proximity).
shelter_type:closed (similar to shed, 4 walls, roof and door. very small and simple cabin, sometimes with a stove for heating, 2-4 people can stay here, should not be used for over-night staying unless necessary), observe that "closed" should not be interpreted as locked in this case.
i could provide ideas for icons, please let me know where i can send them.

Re: tourist cabins, mountain hut, shelter, etc.
The current 'social' state of the forum is (unfortnately perhaps) such that proposals, bug reports/fixes and development discussions have better places in the other OSM media such as the wiki (for proposals) and the dev- and talk-mailing lists (bug reports/fixes and development discussion)
So you best put this in the wiki and announce your proposal in the talk mailing list.

Re: tourist cabins, mountain hut, shelter, etc.
They may not be tourism, but they can be classed as buildings better I think. I would suggest adding cabin/wind-shelter etc to the recent building= proposal personally.
I actually like the idea of just discussing it in here and adding it, I'm getting bored of OSM's burocratic wiki now.
