That doesn't sound right to me. If I understand the description on the 
Wiki[1] correctly, what is tagged as "information=route_marker" or 
"information=trail_blaze" doesn't carry any information other than "this 
is where the path is" (E.g. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_blazing#/media/File:GR-sign.jpg). 
What I'm talking about is the same information that one can find on a 
regular guidepost (i.e. names of destinations, distances to them and 
directions marked with arrows), the only difference being the "technical 
implementation", so to say, i.e. metal plates screwed to a pole vs. 
painting on a rock surface, among others.
