Would anyone have a perfect (or very good example) for a Calisthenics fitness station being mapped on Openstreetmap?
I am looking for good examples on how to map
leisure:fitness_station
'sport:calisthenics`
as an area and individual fitness equipment within such a fitness station.
It feels as if this is a topic which is not covered well yet. At least, I find a lot of such fitness stations which are not yet mapped - or on a very high level.
I have updated a few examples, but I am not really happy with the result. Especially when mapping individual equipment the map feels messy. At least, this is how I feel about it. One element of this is that I am often not able to connect objects perfectly - or create objects in parallel to each other. So, it might actually be a mapping issue on my end.
Here is one example:
Maybe collecting some good examples could help to improve the situation - for me and for others.
Thank you for your feedback. You think that nodes would be better?
Such fitness equipment is often square or rectangular. I tend to think that it invites one to map it as area.
Found this example, which I found pretty well mapped:
with a lot of detail inside the area. All the objects look like they are parallel to each other. I think, areas could work. But probably, I need to be very consistent.
The fact that Berlin gets new imagery yearly meant I had several to choose from, one of which showed that configuration clearly in 2024 (https://maps.berlin.codefor.de)
From that I could put in every piece. Assuming the pieces are of some shared general lengths and the same, I probably copy pasted them to get similar sized line-segments.
Then draw helper-boxes (each a rectangle, connecting the pieces nodes, and also introducing helper nodes for nonexistent corners. Like terraced buildings) connecting every parallel and 90⁰ piece (in this case that’s all of them), and make those square to each other by selecting them all at the same time, then delete them.
Well, at some point the level of detail necessitates using lines and areas, so I did.
What I’m wondering is whether things like the fitness_station=horizontal_ladder need or should be tagged with area=yes.
One can Assume that a node represents the general location, a line is probably going across the longest length of the thing, but an outline could (depending on the specific thing) be interpreted as a (closed) line, or an area.
Four horizontal bars could be attached to four poles as a rectangle, which could in turn be represented by a single closed line ararranged as a rectangle. I would in this case split each of them, since each bar is a separate object.
I don’t know why the wiki states it’s not to be tagged on lines, at least some (like fitness_station=horizontal_bar) of these are well representable as a line.
(Thank you so much for your feedback and inputs! Looks very valuable. I will need some time to read and react. Time is very limited right now. Just FYI.)
