[OSM-talk] Tagging of Viewpoints

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

    a good tourism map will often indicate viewpoints with a symbol 
similar to this:

http://www.scouts.ie/filestore/images/Viewpoint.gif

and the symbol will be placed in the direction of view, and also 
indicate the angular size of the view (may be only 90 degrees, or a full 
360 degree panorama...)

Any suggestions on how to tag this? We have tourism=viewpoint in our map 
features, but no details. direction=<number>, angle=<number>?

It would also be possible to draw viewpoints that don't have full 
panorama as a three-point way, or a relation with three nodes, where one 
is always the actual viewpoint and the others indicate the field of view...

Bye
Frederik
