Value Comment Photo
weather_shelter Used for small shelters in the mountains or alongside roads in the countryside. In contrast to alpine huts not meant as a place to sleep, eat or live, except for emergency cases (for example if a thunderstorm comes up). If shelter_type=* isn't mapped explicitly, shelter=* is interpreted as a weather shelter for backward compatibility. German-shelter-harz.jpg
lean_to A lean-to is a shed with typically three walls located in the countryside intended to provide shelter. Adirondack Lean-to.jpg
public_transport Small shelters found at stops/platforms along train or bus routes, common in bigger cities. Bus shelter.jpg
picnic_shelter EStructure on picnic sites to protect from rain. Normally open to all sides. Also consider to add building=roof. Picnic shelter.jpg
wildlife_hide Incorporates the ideas from the (abandoned?) proposal for bird hides. For further refinement should be extended with the key wildlife_hide=* and an appropriate value. Example: wildlife_hide=birds. Bird-hide-example.jpg
rock_shelter A rock shelter is a shallow cave-like opening at the base of a bluff or cliff. Rock shelter Papula.jpg
