#OpenStreetMap needs a tag to say “this cafe has a plugs where you can power your laptop”

also for libraries, waiting rooms at train stations etc.

would be such a great bit of information.

Hmm may this be a good bit to add to add to #StreetComplete? Though it is hard to see from the outside and many answers are likely "no"? Through, in cafes laptop usage is also common.

@glowl @thibaultmol @rugk MapComplete is a website, but one can 'install' it via the browser (which becomes a glorified bookmark on your homescreen, opening full-screen)

Thanks to @thibaultmol and @MapComplete for informing me of the tags `service:electricty=yes/no/limited/…` for whether there's a place to plug in your laptop in a cafe.

@thibaultmol @MapComplete Very good to know. I had a strange experience in a café recently where the owner had taped all the sockets shut with masking tape, so people wouldn't charge their phones... Not nice when you're trying to recharge after 3 hours of survey...
