Yes, but aren't you going to shift the problem to a different tag? The only thing showing on the map as camp ground is a camp ground, i.e. tourism=camp_site or caravan_site. I'm not ware of Garmin map symbols for either shelters or lean-tos.
The tourism=lean_to in my part of the world are used for camping or overnighting by hitchhikers or long-distance skiers. Such users would probably prefer some searchable symbol, so that they can navigate to the nearest lean-to or desert hut. A generic building symbol (if there is one) would probably not be searchable, as there are so many buildings. Camp_site or caravan_site seems to imply access for motor vehicles. These tourism=lean_to would be in the forests, not necessarily reachable by road vehicles.
I think there is a building symbol and perhaps a name of 'shelter' could be added, if there is no name, but I think if it didn't show at all that would be just fine.
I agree that either treatment would be fine for amenity=shelter. Do you happen to know the code of the building symbol?
What about just Services? That would work a little better in other languages than English languages, because the OSM tag is highway=services. "Services" can be understandable in more languages than "exit", and the "exit" does not seem to add much value in English either.
That sounds perfectly good to me.
OK, I will do that then. Best regards, Marko
