The =* key indicates whether a feature has a swimming pool. This is especially useful if the feature's swimming pool cannot be mapped separately as leisure=swimming_pool.
Values
=yes- the feature has a swimming pool=no- the feature explicitly has no swimming pool
Additional Values
If the type of pool is known, a matching key value is often used instead of yes. Common values are:
=inground- the feature has an in-ground swimming pool=outdoor- the feature has an outdoor swimming pool=indoor- the feature has an indoor swimming pool
Examples
The key is always used in conjunction with an appropriate feature. Common features include:
leisure=fitness_centre+=yes- the fitness centre has a swimming poolleisure=sports_centre+=no- the sports complex has no swimming pooltourism=hotel+=indoor- the hotel has an indoor swimming pooltourism=camp_site+=outdoor- the campsite has an outdoor swimming pool
Alternative usage
In conjunction with leisure=swimming_pool, the key is also used to further describe the type of pool.
- Attention!
Note that in this context =* should explicitly not describe the location. The established tags location=indoor/outdoor/roof, indoor=yes and outdoor=yes are used for this purpose.
Common values used to describe the pool in more detail are:
