The idea behind the plugin supports multiple people in one location too. I thought using this plugin would be a great excuse to get out and explore some of the are cemeteries. That didn't work out for a number of reasons. However, here's how the data is added to a JOSM OSM file. The plugin provides a pictorial view of all the tomb values from the OSM wiki page. The Polish language page provides more information on possible key combinations. Note too that the even though JOSM and perhaps other editors start with a lat with 33.024470104758166, the OSM database only stores seven digits after the decimal place. That should still provide enough accuracy to locate grave markers. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/Tomb_Plugin http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Pl:Key:tomb <node id='-140' action='modify' visible='true' lat='33.024470104758166' lon='-112.049160370313'> <tag k='description' v='Researcher' /> <tag k='died' v='2013-07-29' /> <tag k='historic' v='tomb' /> <tag k='name' v='additional user data' /> <tag k='tomb' v='tombstone' /> <tag k='type' v='person' /> </node> <node id='175448424' timestamp='2012-05-10T15:22:00Z' uid='633256' user='jmjanzen' visible='true' version='5' changeset='11559741' lat='33.0290594' lon='-112.0478438' /> ... <relation id='-141' action='modify' visible='true'> <member type='node' ref='-140' role='tomb' /> <tag k='name' v='p' /> <tag k='type' v='person' /> </relation> Greg
