information office node
area 		An office where you can get information about a town or region.
information visitor_centre node

information board node A board with information. To describe it closer, have a look at board_type=*.

  • This tag can be combined with fee=* and ref=*.
  • If you want to describe a audio service via mobile phone, you have to add the phone number via phone=*.
information map node A board with a map. To specify the type or shown details, have a look at map_type=* and map_size=* in information=map. To describe the access to the shown routes or the kind of route use the keys e.g hiking=yes, bicycle=yes, mtb=yes, horse=yes or ski=yes.
information tactile_map node Tactile maps are maps for the blind, also known as haptic maps.
information tactile_model node Tactile models are models for the blind representing buildings and surroundings.
information guidepost node Signposts/Guideposts are often found along official hiking/cycling routes to indicate the directions to different destinations. To describe the access to the shown routes or the kind of route use the keys e.g hiking=yes, bicycle=yes, mtb=yes, horse=yes or ski=yes.
information post node A small pole, erected vertically, with information on the top or sides that may be inscribed, or on a small plaque. Somewhat similar to an information=stele, but smaller.
information

route_marker,
trail_blaze

node

A marker that shows the position of the way of a route. Could be a symbol, a short pole or a painted marking.

Note that two partially equivalent tag values are used: a more popular route_marker and less popular trail_blaze, which documents the difference some mapper see between the two.

  • To describe the access to the shown routes or the kind of route use the keys e.g hiking=yes, bicycle=yes, mtb=yes, horse=yes or ski=yes.
  • See also: trailblazed=* (a key for the use on paths or tracks which are marked).
