I am mapping a fingerpost, aka guidepost:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:information%3Dguidepost
I would like to add the inscription, for each of the three fingers,
with their compass points. I note:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:destination
is similar but "destination:forward" and "destination:backward" are
meaningless in this context; and many finger posts have more than four
fingers, or fingers not at 90-degree angles to each other, or to
North. I propose something like:
destination:NNW=foo
or, using degrees:
destination:337.5:=foo
If this would cloud the use of "destination", we could use, say:
inscription:337.5:=foo
What do folk think?
