Nomady
https://nomady.camp/ is an Airbnb-like booking portal for small private camp-sites which have usually just a couple of pitches. The sites are mostly located in German-speaking countries.
The portal is relatively open to OpenStreetMap and allows us to use its API [1]
Unfortunately, their coordinates are not accurate enough for a data import.
Mappers may obtain better data from aerial images in some cases or on-site using GPS and might even be able this way to map the sites as an area instead of a node.
When adding them to OpenStreetMap as tourism=camp_site, there are a few things to note.
Website URLs should be entered in the following format:
contact:website=https://nomady.camp/cabin/name-of-site-XXXX
or (more general in case the name changes):
contact:website=https://nomady.camp/cabin/XXXX
For the tech-savvy, here’s a regular expression:
https://nomady.camp/cabin/[a-z\-]*([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])
URLs in the format https://nomady.camp/profile/XXXXX refer to hosts, not sites, and should therefore not be used.
If the landlord in question has its own website, contact:website=* should
link to that, and contact:nomady=* should be used instead for the Nomady link.
In addition, the Nomady id should also be tagged as follows:
Usually there are only a few pitches available, this is why it is also important that the following tags are added:
caravans=yes/no
tents=yes/no
motorhome=yes/no
capacity:persons=number
capacity:tents=number
capacity:caravans=number
or
capacity:pitches=number
Currently no tag for the maximum size of Motorhomes allowed has been established in OpenStreetMap. Thus for now please add a note to the description tag if only smaller vehicles are permitted.
A geoJSON file generated using their API can be downloaded from https://opencampingmap.org/download/nomady/nomady-latest.geojson. It is possible to load this file into the Josm-Editor. Data can then be copied and pasted site by site while fixing the location data.
Please do not use this file for direct data import.
Notes
- ↑ User:Giggls, the author of OpenCampingMap, had a friendly conversation with Nomady regarding mapping their sites in OpenStreetMap and even got the offer to import the missing ones. However this will not happen because of geolocation accuracy issues. They gave me access to their json-api. Please contact me if you are interested to use it.
