(In a spirit similar to an earlier thread…)
Earlier, @NLBRT raised the issue of India-specific tags on the wiki. Later, we put together a list of features for which we were unable to find documented tags -
-
A tea vendor, usually a street vendor on a push cart (but sometimes a shop in a building). May have benches or other impromptu open-air seating nearby.
amenity=cafedoesn’t seem to be a good fit. Not to be confused withshop=tea, which sells tea leaves and/or tea bags. -
A panwādi AKA paan vendor. Usually part of a building, but sometimes in a kiosk. May also sell (traditionally) Gulkand - Wikipedia and (in recent years) tobbaco products (cigarettes, bidis), snacks, etc.
This was discussed in the #osm-in-general:matrix.org room.
shop=paanwas proposed first.shop=betelwas suggested to avoid confusion with “pans”, and may be acceptable if an English word is preferred.shop=betel_quidmay be more accurate. -
A digital services shop. Services include phone recharge, train/plane tickets, application for various government schemes (ration card, Aadhar card, etc), and/or money transfer. May or may not be government-appointed. Frequently overlaps with copy shops and/or cyber cafes.
- Perhaps we need a
service:*prefix. Some of the above services are also provided by other shops, such as mobile shops and convenience stores.
- Perhaps we need a
-
An office for a tent provider. They set up large “tents” (and tables, seating, etc) for outdoor Indian events e.g. weddings. Some also provide catering services.
-
An office for booking a musician or an ensemble. These provide musicians (typically one of two kinds - a brass band, or a dhol player) for hire, typically for wedding processions.
Please provide suggestions on how to tag the above.
