If I'm not misunderstanding taginfo*, I'm seeing 94k "guidepost" roles 
at https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=guidepost#roles , and 2k 
"marker" and 1k "route_marker" 
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=guidepost#roles . Personally 
I've tended to use "marker", since many of the things I'm adding aren't 
guideposts in the conventional sense - see for example 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1996318 .

Best Regards,

Andy

* the extra 3 "role=guidepost" at 
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=guidepost#roles are a bit 
odd, but I suspect it's just a trailing space issue.
