Make more than 100 million people happy... by genuinely importing all the carpooling areas mapped on OpenStreetMap!
-
The carpooling areas mapped with the tags "amenity=parking" + "carpool=yes/designated" in OpenStreetMap display properly on Mapy.com. However, all those tagged with "amenity=car_pooling" are missing, and they are significantly more numerous.
There are currently 2,643 of them (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/amenity=car_pooling). For comparison, "the carpool=*" tag is only used 1,972 times on OSM (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/carpool). By not supporting this "amenity=car_pooling" tag, more than half the time, looking for a carpooling area on Mapy.com ends in failure
Yet, in many countries, this mode of transport is massively popular! The BlaBlaCar app alone has over 100 million users (including 20 million in France alone). As a result, these carpooling hubs are very heavily used, and it is a real shame that users have to switch to a different GPS app to find them.
Would it be possible to include this tag in an upcoming data update?
