I agree with Pesach's points. I agree with the address requirement only as far as it is practicable – not everything has an address, though.
This is my recommendation:
I thought airport guidelines were codified in the wiki, but I guess not.PhantomSoul wrote:Airports have short codes that are also practical to show as prefixes, since they are often well-known, and from a distance, airport destinations are often searched for by airport name or some common reference to the airport as a whole (like its code), so that would work well.
This is my recommendation:
- An Area Place for the airport, with the navigation point placed as follows:
- If there is only one terminal, place the navigation point at the entrance to the terminal;
- if there are multiple terminals, but only one public entrance to the airport facility, place the navigation point after that entrance but before the ramp to either terminal;
- if there are multiple terminals and entrances from both directions, place it somewhere reasonable.
- Name the airport using the airport's name followed by its 3-letter IATA code, set off in
parentheses, e.g., "Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY)".- Set, as an alternate name, the three-letter IATA code alone, e.g., "MSY".
- If a three-letter IATA code is not available, use, in this order of preference: (1) the FAA code, if in the US, or (2) the four-letter ICAO code, everywhere the IATA code is called for.
- Place a Point Place at each of the following locations, if it is distinct and possible to navigate to:
- each terminal, by name, if there are multiple terminals;
- "Departures", if there is a distinct ramp for departures;
- "Arrivals", if there is a distinct ramp for arrivals;
- "Parking";
- "Rental Car Return".
- Name these Point Places as follows: "IATA Code - Place Descriptor", e.g., "MSY - Arrivals".
- If an airport has multiple terminals, there will likely be multiple Departures and Arrivals ramps, so place the terminal name between the IATA code and descriptor, e.g., "DTW - North Terminal - Arrivals".
- If international and domestic departures are on separate ramps, place a point place for each, e.g., "DTW - McNamara Terminal - International Departures" and "DTW - McNamara Terminal - Domestic Departures".
- Place these Point Places at a place relatively near to the start of the ramp.
