There is a complex intersection of bicycle routes in my county, where to “go there” means to (somewhat un-intuitively) “turn here” and it is where north is sort of south and east and west are also sort of south and north and regional turns into local, but only if you turn in THAT direction. (My county has been called “the vortex of the universe”). Briefly, the countywide (local) bicycle route numbering protocol (called CycleNet, which accommodates regional numbered routes by not using them in the local name/numberspace) was added to OSM, these display rather nicely in OpenCycleMap layer, and a QR code was made to represent this intersection, as displayed at close zoom in OCM (ahhh, just right for a cyclist confused by the turns and directions / destinations). Then this QR code was printed on a sticker and this sticker with the QR code stuck to the bike route / destination sign (post?) with “Bike Here!” printed above/below the QR code. (It might have had some packaging tape “sealed” over the top to laminate it as rain protection: it won’t last forever, but it will last after the first rain!)
<br>
<br> A (potentially lost) cyclist, confused even by the signs (and their compass / GPS…) sees “Bike (QR code) Here!” on a bike route sign, scans it, discovers it is a sort of “You are Here” map, seeing bright red, purple and blue lines representing national, regional and local bike routes (and how to turn, obviously) displayed on their smart phone. Smiles and correct turn-lane selections ensue, plans are made with confidence about where to lunch at the next town….

<br> Thanks, Clifford, you have inspired me and we seem to agree yet again: I’d be tempted to tag this
<br>
<br> tourism=information + information=qr_code
<br> qr_code=map
<br> map_rendering=open_cycle_map
<br>
<br> This might be improved, but the nuts and bolts are there to build what seems to be needed to express “what this is in the map.”
