Playing the symbols...

on
Just working on a resource and thought I'd ask for some ideas on what to include in one of the activities.

One activity is about designing new OS Map Symbols.

Can you suggest the things that should be marked on OS maps but aren't ?

I put this out on Twitter earlier and some suggestions were: coffee shops, electric car recycling points, recycling centres and McDonalds....

What would you add to the list ? 
Thanks to those who have responded so far on Twitter....

This could be an assignment for #edtechcc. One of the upcoming assignments is about symbols...

I think they should be more effective by giving names for features such as schools, pubs and golf courses.
