In the UK, hill figures include:
* The Cerne Abbas Giant [1], [2], [3]
* The Fovant badges [4], [5], [6]
* RNLI Dunkirk Memorial at Margate [7], [8]
* Osmington White Horse [9], [10], [11]]
and others exist elsewhere [12]. As can be seen from my examples,
these usually significant landmarks are often not rendered on the map
- the exception in my examples is at Osmington.
Some cover areas (e.g. Osmington, which is why it renders), some are
"tramlines" (Cerne Abbas), and some (the RNLI memorial) are single
lines.
I propose we tag the latter two types as, say, artwork=hill_figure,
and request that such items be rendered at higher zoom levels.
What alternative approaches are available?
