style service related objects

Hi, the style is pretty nice and modern. But I noticed that currently it's not easy to recognize where a guest of the building can get things, services or support.

How about a different style for rooms like restaurant, toilets, amphitheatre, lecturer? So they are easy to recognize and it's a tip easier to know how to get there to get what you are looking for (within the building).

I guess hall would be another interesting value 😉

For restaurant and toilets, I would suggest to use standard POI tags such as amenity=toilets or amenity=restaurant. It will be displayed fine.

For others rooms tagged with room=servicesroom, we could style them the same color as POI. Do you have a list of rooms values that could make sense?

[HMT-HRO-MaMe]

Yes true, I tagged the POIs on the indoor=room outlines and it already get's some more structures:

When I browse trough taginfo, I tend to suggest the following which touch aspects of very different buildings like conference halls, airports, shopping malls, ...

Events

• conference
• amphitheatre (not sure, this is suggested by osminedit?)
• hall
• lobby
• foyer
• lounge
• terrace

Tasks

• class
• auditorium
• lecture_hall
• library
• seminar | seminar_room
• laboratory
• computer
• studio
• washroom
• fitness
• sports
• gym
• break
• kitchen

Shopping

• store
• retail
• commercial
• cafe
• cafeteria
• restaurant

I tried to style some room values on a specific branch of the plugin: https://github.com/indoorequal/mapbox-gl-indoorequal/tree/test-subclass with values "class", "laboratory", "office", "auditorium", "amphitheatre", "reception".
Here is some results on your university:

Looks very promising to me :-) Thank you very much!

So what do you think? Can you push it live? (I would like to get some feedback by other university departments if this would be a good way to show rooms)

P.S: I noticed in the screenshot, that huge halls that are mapped room=amphitheatre seem to be missing?

I'm waiting for the new import first.

It seems that it's tagged as indoor=yes. You should tag it as a room or similar.

Oh, thanks, what a stupid mistake 😞
