[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Information on Map Layers - consistency and usefulness (#3311)

[Christoph Hormann]

This is not about providing credits, it is about providing interested website visitors with information and references to external content they are likely to need or desire and about channeling potential interests of site users to where it is potentially useful (namely the community projects behind the map layers)

Regarding map keys - if you have a well usable map key produced through technology for any of the map layers that is great but so far i have never seen anything like that for any map style.  Good, well readable map keys still inevitably involve significant hand work.  And none of the keys i linked to are third party - they are all produced by people involved in the design of the map layers in question.  Integration into the website would be great of course but so far no one has produced something like that for any of the map layers (the map key for the standard style does not really qualify because it is simply wrong for the most part).

And to be clear - these are all just suggestions - i don't claim i know the ideal way to actually implement them nor that i think these are the only or even the most significant issues with the way the map layers are presented.
