The =* key is used to mark rooms inside a building, which is a space surrounded by walls and doors. This is useful when mapping indoor spaces.

Tagging

To tag a room, create an area (preferred) or a node and add indoor=room. The =* key allows a user to precisely define the function of a given room (see values below).

To add more details, you can use these tags :

• name=* : the room name
• ref=* : the room reference/number
• level=* : the level of the building where the room is located (recommended)

You may also add room entrances, see entrance=* and door=*.

Common values

This is a list of commonly used values for rooms.

Key	Value	Element	Comment	Rendering	Photo
	entrance		The first room of a building after passing the main entrance, if any.
	office		An office room. Use office=* on the whole or part of the building.
	classroom		A =classroom, where a reduced amount of students can learn from a teacher and work in groups
	corridor		A corridor, see also indoor=corridor.
	stairs		A staircase, a room containing stairs. Combine with highway=steps for routing.
	toilet		A room containing one toilet only, use amenity=toilets for the area where all toilets are collected.

See Taginfo for most used values, or the list of other values below.

Avoid these values

Avoid using the following common values, they add no information and can cause confusion.

Other values

The following list contains some values, derived from the CityGML Spec V1.0 from SIG 3D. The possible collisions still have to be discussed. Maybe we should remove values like bedroom as we only tag public buldings like train-/underground stations, universities, libraries etc.
