categories on wheelmap, "public garden" is missing

[cirospat]

hi
I report that in wheelmap insert procedure I encountered "casinò twice, while "public garden" (inside macro category "Free Time") is missing.
Please can add "public garden" voice so that I keep on report accessibility of these spaces in my city of Palermo?
Thanks

Yes please add leisure=park to the list.

It's very important to map the access to (in example) city public parks.
There are very big and wonderfull city parks, but sometime it's impossible to enter.

Thank you

Dear cirospat and aborruso,

thanks for your ideas. To add new node types will take a while – outdoor pois are always more complicated to describe using the current Wheelmap criteria and we need to find a new rating concept for all existing and new node types of this kind first and evaluate which node types are important to the majority of the users.

We'll keep you posted!

Hi @Svenyo thank you for your reply.

Currently in wheel map we have in example zoo, View point, Memorial, Theme park, beach.
These are similar to a public garden. I think that in "zoo, View point, Memorial, Theme park, beach" you map essentially the access to them and bathroom (if there is anyone).

Public gardens are very popular and I think is very important to have them in wheelmap, applying in example the criteria of a beach.

Thank you

Hi again,
yes, I see why you mention all those other node types. We'll have to put some effort into a better definition of them, too, very soon. Once we found a good concept for a "makeover" – we're working on a relaunch at the moment – we can think about the integration of more pois located in the outdoor world.

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi @Svenyo and sincerely thank you again.

My question is: why is it possible to have "beach" and not a public garden?

I think that you could add now public garden and than work for a better definition of it, with beach, theme park, etc..

I'm not a troll, I think only that a public garden is mandatory a place for which it's too important if there are barriers at the entrance.

Thank you

[Svenyo]

From our point of view, it's not a question of "possible" or not, it's a question that is subject to IT development decisions in the context of our relaunch and the processes connected to that right now. So, I kindly ask for your patience and your trust in us to provide some better solutions for all of the mentioned node types in future.

Hi @Svenyo,

So, I kindly ask for your patience and your trust in us to provide some better solutions for all of the mentioned node types in future.

All the node types that I have mentioned (but one) are already in wheelmap (below some example). I'm asking only to add public garden, and manage this type as you do with beach.
This is my last email. But I wanted to be sure I was clear.

Thanks for everything

Thanks, I know which node types we already use in our application. ;-) You just need to understand that we want to sort out questions concerning several of our outdoor node types first, before we integrate more "special cases".
