Not rendered: ambulance_station

[hajo4]

I think it would be important, and increase the usefulness of OSM-maps
if such emergency-facilities would be shown on the map.

E.g. with tag "emergency:ambulance_station".

While not immediately useful to someone seeking for help like police stations (at least not in Austria), I also think this should be rendered for completness reasons (fire stations are also rendered). This requires upgrading the database and therefore may take a while.

Should be emergency=ambulance_station, not emergency:ambulance_station obviously.

+1 for this rendering request... useful points
i've seen "hospital tricks" to get emergency points rendered...

Thanks

rendering the name would be sufficient. IMO the outline and an icon is often not really needed.

[marcobra]

IMO: i hate names, especially the long intrusive rendering names... of private activity (icon + names): bar and restaurant and shop... they always overlap addr:housenumber info's

[HolgerJeromin]

For example
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/108967298
should render something.
I have no preference if name or housenumber is rendered, but right now you think the housenumber is missing here...

Maybe we could reuse the garages area color for this?

I think special rendeing is not nessesary here, because these objects are not common-useful. Is anybody still interested in it?

[SomeoneElseOSM]

My 2p: In a different map style I chose not to give it a special icon because it's not somewhere you specifically go (see for e.g. http://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=18&lat=53.048011&lon=-1.409169 ).

I guess not, so i will close it now. If there will be any new ideas and arguments, it can be reopened.
