Currently the features with the tag "name=Kebnekaise" are 2 ways which extend north-south and to the west from these two peaks and are also tagged natural=arete (an arete is a knife-edged ridge formed between 2 glaciers).
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/123215393#map=13/67.8934/18.4509&layers=C https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/407174801#map=14/67.8999/18.5215&layers=C Is this correct based on your local knowledge of the area? If in fact Kebnekaise is the name of the ridges or aretes, then this is a good way to represent the name of the "mountain" which in this case appears to be a thin ridge between glaciers. Note that Opentopomap handles this fairly well: https://www.opentopomap.org/#map=14/67.90026/18.50553 and https://www.opentopomap.org/#map=13/67.90113/18.46716 I believe OpenTopoMap also renders natural=mountain_range ways: https://www.opentopomap.org/#map=12/38.4613/-4.1566 OpenTopoMap uses a special script to assign an isolation value to each peak: that is, how far is it away from another natural=peak (or natural=volcano) with a larger elevation value? If it is a long way, the peak will be rendered even at low zoom levels (large scales), for example: https://www.opentopomap.org/#map=7/67.900/18.479 This hasn't been implemented in the OpenStreetMap-Carto style because it is somewhat complicated and might have performance problems and there are issues with using more pre-processing of the raw data when it comes to mapper feedback, but the code used by OpenTopoMap is here: https://github.com/der-stefan/OpenTopoMap/pull/129 and https://github.com/der-stefan/OpenTopoMap/pull/130 if anyone else wants to implement this for their own maps. -- Joseph On Sun, Dec 13, 2020 at 12:14 PM Mateusz Konieczny via Tagging < tagging@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > > > > Dec 13, 2020, 19:58 by and...@torger.se: > > Do you have a suggestion of how to map Sweden's highest mountain, > Kebnekaise? > > The mountain is called Kebnekaise, it has two peaks, one is called > "Sydtoppen" ("the south peak"), the other "Nordtoppen" ("the north peak"). > > I admit that I have no good idea, if I would run into such case and failed > to find a better idea > (hopefully one will come) I would invent a new way to tag that. > > natural=mountain?
