I’ve just started mapping, added a few local paths & POI, only using Potlatch, and I could not find a suitable tag for a public open-air tennis court. Having marked the relevant area (or simply POI) I thought I would find a sport=tennis tag but it’s not there in Potlatch. Table tennis is there! but not tennis !
Do I have to use JOSM to get a wider choice of tags?
I used sport=raquet as temporary measure but not really comfortable with that…
No, you don’t have to use JOSM. You can add any tag you like in Potlatch by using the ‘+’ button.
If it is not in the presets of %OSMEDITOR% it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exists:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features and search for “tennis”
I use;
leisure=pitch
sport=tennis
Same for basketball/volleyball courts.
Can’t find anything else under *leisure *which would be more appropriate.
