Add more POI presets

[makella]

Here are my thoughts on presets that should be added to Places. These are things that first come to mind. I will add more as I think of them. Feel free to comment/add others.

Natural Features:

• Valleys
• Peaks
• Ridge
• Basin
• Plateau
• Island
• Geyser
• Waterfall
• Prairie
• Forest
• Wetland
  • I'm sure there are others that we should talk to people about gathering. We also need to test labeling these different features but would be a good start to get them collected.

Names:

• First order place names within the park
  • (e.g.: Cades Cove, Old Faithful, Yosemite Valley, etc.)
• Second order place names within the park
  • (within Old Faithful, are there sub-areas?)
• Landmarks/Tourist Attraction
  • (statues, important buildings, flagpoles, historic features, things that are not 'visitor amenities' as in picnic, camping, etc. but that are important to show in a park)

One other thing I mentioned yesterday. I think we should go ahead and add all visitor amenity types that we have symbols for which is basically everything off of the HFC symbol sheet.

Some others off the top of my head:

Natural features:

• Glaciers

Cultural features:

• Fortifications
• Monuments

(these probably fall under "Landmarks/Tourist Attraction", but I think we may want to have them as individual preset types???)

Natural features:

• Dunes
• Beaches

There are more landmarks that we should get. For example, for Places Mobile, anything that is an important site in a park that is a landmark type feature, I tag as 'Tourist Attraction' then we can use that tag to style the labels more prominently.

Also, what are your proposed tags for place names?

[jimmyrocks]

I'm not sure the best way to do place names. There is a lot of discussion in OSM on it here.

For other attractions, I've been using tourism=attraction which is named "exhibit" in the places editor

This is adapted from a list I started compiling a little while ago. I filtered out the features you guys mentioned above. Anyway, something to think about. Some HFC-inspired places: -fire tower -spring -lock -battle -cannon -ruin -cemetery -lighthouse -buoy -day marker -coral reef -wreck Other: -tree symbol -flower symbol -law enforcement station -scenic viewpoint (camera icon?) -museum

[jimmyrocks]

Can we combine this with the other proposed tag lists in places-data?

[jakecoolidge]

Are you referring to this one?

Good for @asouthwould's awareness too, as she looks to sort through the master list of POIs

[asouthwould]

Just to confirm, the following POIs suggested above are currently included in our preset list:

• Valley
• Peak
• Ridge
• Basin
• Plateau
• Island
• Geyser
• Waterfall
• Prairie
• Forest
• Wetland
• Glacier
• Fortification
• Monument
• Dune
• Beach
• Spring
• Ruin as Historic Ruin
• Cemetery
• Day Marker as Guidepost or Information or Information Map?
• Coral Reef as Reef (Bar)
• Law Enforcement Station as Police
• Scenic Viewpoint as Viewpoint

I am reviewing the IMR suggestions from issue #50 in places-data and will include the following remaining unaddressed suggestions from this issue:

• fire tower
• lock
• battle
• cannon
• lighthouse
• buoy
• wreck
• tree symbol
• flower symbol
• museum

I'm not sure exactly what a "Day Marker" is. Is that a sign that can be captured in one of the suggestions listed above? There is also a suggestion for "Interpretive Sign" in the other list.

While inputting POI's for Gateway NRA we were attempting to enter Kayak Launches and our only option is Canoe Launch. We have a distinction here because of the primary user, a kayak program we have in place at the park, uses only kayaks. @jimmyrocks suggested possibly turning this into a general "non-motorized boat launch". I am not sure how we handle this.
