Tagging a sheltered pathway
There's a path between two buildings. The path is sheltered. The shelter goes along the path, and people moving between the buildings are protected from rain. How would I tag this? -- SwiftFast (talk) 07:29, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
Need water
"When hiking people need water" – Why should I look for a shelter, when I need water? --GerdHH (talk) 13:57, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
- Note next sentence - "Consider making sure that all streams, rivers and lakes near the shelter are also mapped.". It is unusal, and not sure whatever should be kept but I see nothing confusing here Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 16:58, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
I added those sentences. In many places in Sweden we got only the position and type of a shelter and no nearby streams are on the map. This paragraph was added to remind mappers that if we want the data to be used for hiking and sleepovers we need more information than just data on the shelter itself.

Rock shelters should not be listed here
I don't think natural, shallow cave opening or rock overhang should be mapped as a type amenity=shelter since this feature is otherwise always man-made, purpose-built as a shelter.
A rock overhang or shallow cave opening is a natural geological feature. I would recommend use of natural=cave_entrance plus length=* and depth=* in meters, or perhaps a new tag like natural=rock_overhang in other cases when it doesn't qualify as a cave entrance. --Jeisenbe (talk) 06:06, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
