Talk:Key:bench:type
"Default" type and separated seats
The most widespread value is "seated". I wonder what is meant by this: Is it a kind of default value (for benches with a longer, continuous seating area) or is it a type of bench in which individual seats are separated from each other? A distinction between "normal" benches and those with separate seats would be necessary. For me, the specification of seats=*
is sufficient as an indicator for separate seating areas. If there are no separate seats, seats=*
should not be used - if necessary, length=*
or bench:length=*
could be used instead, from which the number of people who can sit here can be determined.
Anyway, we should add good sample pictures. --Supaplex030 (talk) 12:20, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
"lounger" type

In most cases, "loungers" should be tagged with amenity=lounger
. But sometimes they are actually benches on which you tend to sit in a lying position (see the picture). It would be a good sample picture for bench:type=lounger
(without amenity=lounger
).--Supaplex030 (talk) 12:56, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Or is it like
amenity=seat
andamenity=bench
: A lounger for more than one person is a bench withbench:type=lounger
