<br>
It would be 100% fine putting in individual gravestones into OSM. It<br>
is an physical object that can be surveyed, does not move, and people<br>
care about it. Personally, I would enjoy mapping the locations of<br>
gravestones of loved ones, important people, kind of like a little<br>
Internet memorial. When you die, you get your very own node in OSM. If<br>
enough people do it, somebody will make a special slippy map that<br>
supports a very high level zoom to show each gravestone, don't worry<br>
about it not being rendered right now, just try to get the tagging<br>
right.<br>
<br>
It sounds like this might be an import, you should follow the normal<br>
process (like the NPS import).<br>
<br>
I say go for it!<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

I thought using this plugin would be a great excuse to get out and explore some of the are cemeteries. That didn't work out for a number of reasons. However, here's how the data is added to a JOSM OSM file. The plugin provides a pictorial view of all the tomb values from the OSM wiki page. The Polish language page provides more information on possible key combinations.</div>
