Packstation
In Germany and elsewhere, a Packstation is a parcel machine operated by DHL. You can pick up and send your parcels there. This page documents useful tags and tries to collect the mapping status of all Packstations (via link).
Packstations are currently tagged with amenity=parcel_locker, the old scheme was amenity=vending_machine.
Tagging
Add a Packstation or Paketbox as node or area with the following keys:
New scheme for Packstation | New scheme for Paketbox | Old scheme, please change |
---|---|---|
amenity=parcel_locker | amenity=parcel_locker | amenity=vending_machine |
parcel_pickup=yes; parcel_mail_in=yes | parcel_pickup=no; parcel_mail_in=yes | Packstation: vending=parcel_pickup;parcel_mail_in
Paketbox: vending=parcel_mail_in |
ref=123 (Packstation number), | ref=301 (Paketbox number), number as sticker in an edge (e.g. top right) |
ref=123 (Packstation or Paketbox number), |

Useful combinations
As far as it is known, all Packstations incorporate a camera, so surveillance=outdoor (or indoor if inside a building) should usually be tagged as well.
Map
To search and find lockers with the old tagging scheme the following requests may be helpful:
Overpass Turbo direct link to a map.
This lionk only regards lockers that are tagged with amenity=vending_machine and vending=parcel_pickup;parcel_mail_in !
Syntax for the Overpass API
<osm-script output="json">
<union>
<query type="node">
<has-kv k="amenity" v="vending_machine"/>
<has-kv k="vending" v="parcel_pickup;parcel_mail_in"/>
<bbox-query {{bbox}}/>
</query>
<query type="way">
<has-kv k="amenity" v="vending_machine"/>

<bbox-query {{bbox}}/>
</query>
<query type="relation">

<bbox-query {{bbox}}/>
</query>
</union>
<print mode="body"/>
<recurse type="down"/>

</osm-script>
Additionally there are some lockers tagged as amenity=post_box or similar.
With the following Overpass Turbo Query all nodes/ways are found, that have "ackstation" in their name but are not tagged as amenity=vending_machine and vending=parcel_pickup;parcel_mail_in. This query can be used as starting point for a further harmonization of the tagging.
(node({{bbox}})[name~"ackstation"];
-
node({{bbox}})[amenity=vending_machine][vending="parcel_pickup;parcel_mail_in"];);
out meta;
(way({{bbox}})[name~"ackstation"];
-
way({{bbox}})[amenity=vending_machine][vending="parcel_pickup;parcel_mail_in"];);
(._;>;);out meta;
