A wireless Internet hotspot is a site that offers public Internet access over a wireless local area network ([W] WLAN) through the use of a router connected to an Internet service provider. Public internet Hotspots typically use [W] Wi-Fi technology.

This tag is for indicating that a map feature such as a cafe, shop, restaurant, etc. offers internet access to the public, either as a paid service or for free.

As an example, campsites offering wireless internet access should be tagged primarily as tourism=camp_site and additionally internet_access=wlan.

See internet_access=* for more information.

How to map

  • Add the tag internet_access=wlan to a feature such as an internet cafe, shop, restaurant, library, campsite, hotel or other location that offers public wireless internet access.
