[amenity-points] Mapnik shows pubs but no nightclubs. #2697
Comments
Author: Tirkon There are three free svg Files matching Nightclubs on Wikimedia Commons: |
Author: scai Is it really that hard to render them? ;/ |
Author: guerda On the talk page of amenity=nightclub1, a proper icon was proposed and accepted by several users 4 years ago. Please add this rendering rule! |
Author: LetzFetz Added 3 possible versions of the accepted symbol. Correct color, SVG. SVGs are made by myself and public domain. Don't know if someone has the rights on the design. (I only recreated the accepted PNG as SVG) |
Author: Nighto I support this inclusion. I know it's wrong, and I can't talk only for myself, but many of the amenity=bar I've mapped are, actually, nightclubs. |
Author: mehgary[at]gmail.com I support this as well. I have mapped a number of nightclubs and I believe they should be rendered if bars are rendered. |
Author: Tirkon August 2011: 4700 x amenity=nightclub |
Author: attila.asztalos[at]gmail.com +1 for this. Please fix the rendering. |
Author: ktk Is there a reason that no one takes care of that one? Come on, night clubs are very common and a lot of people go there and are interested in it. There are several icons proposed so that problem is solved as well. |
Author: fhahn0311[at]gmx.de I'd be very interested in seeing this feature being added as well. I'm from Berlin and we have hundreds of nightclubs which do not show up on osm. Especially for people unfamiliar with the area, i.e. tourists, which are depandent on planning their trps/evenings out with the help of online maps, this would be a nice addition. :) |
Author: LetzFetz After asking on IRC I got some answers regarding this ticket:

Author: alex-esko Now there are over 8000 nightclubs'' in osm and there ist still no icon. Since ''bars'' and ''pubs'' are rendered, i see no point for leaving ''nightclubs out. As [#comment:5 Comment 5] said, if no icon is added, many mappers could be mislead to map nightclubs as bars. As user woodpeck [https://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/4025#comment:4 pointed out], the quality of the icons is sufficient and there are far worse icons in use. |
Author: katze_sonne I found this, which is related to this ticket: And I agree that nightclubs should be rendered. In most countries they are "more important" than pubs (though I know they are important for british people for example). |
Author: derstefan We all know that one does not map for the renderer, but for the database. But if the partygoer doesn't see his favorite disco on the map, he probably tags it as a bar. Nightclubs should be rendered as soon as possible. |
Author: math1985 This issue is now being discussed on Github: gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto#456 Therefore, I will close it here. |
Author: Tirkon What is the sense to close a ticket on a OSM-project site and bring the discussion to a site, that is outside of OSM? Why should OSM people have to signup on a foreign site, where they do not know their owners in order to discuss OSM things? And how should OSM people know, that such questions are discussed on foreign sites although there is an OSM-one? Without a reasonable answer this should be reopened. |
Author: math1985 The background is that the Mapnik stylesheets are no longer maintained. Instead, the rendering is now done with Carto-generated stylesheets. As the component against which the bug was originally reported is no longer maintained, there is no point in leaving this issue open. It is a service from my side to migrate the issues to the new component/project (the original plan was to close all bugs filed against Mapnik). The new project, openstreetmap-carto, is not run directly by the OSM Foundation. If you disagree with the fact that openstreetmap-carto uses Github, you can either makes your complaints known at Andy Allan, who runs the new project, or if that fails at the OSM Foundation, who are responsible for accepting Andy's rendering as main map on openstreetmap.org. |
Author: Tirkon I understand. Thank you for clearing that up, math1985. :-) There is an additional point that speaks against the new site. For normal mappers whithout coding experience the so called "Github" is not understandable. Most of them not even know, what a stylesheet is an what it is good for. They only see the map and know, that something goes wrong. Github speaks the ununderstandable language of coders but not the one of mappers. Thus they have no chance to reach the coders with her message. I will see Andy on the the SOTM EU next weekend and talk to him. Once more thank you very much for your help. |

The difference between pub and nightclub is, that latter have got a
dancefloor. Thus it is inscrutable to me, why pubs are shown in Mapnik
but nightclubs are not. Thus: Could the nightclubs be shown in Mapnik
as well?
Sorry for my bad english.
