is a significant landmark, visible for several miles, and illuminated
at night. Yet it does not render. Is it missing a tag, or do we need
to tweak the rendering rules?
I became aware of this today, when I added a similar mast, at
Vilamoura (Portugal):
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=37.0830&mlon=-8.1364#map=17/37.0830/-8.1364
For that, I included three support wires, and three anchor points -
how should those be tagged?
Dear Andy,
It is possible to map it as: "man_made=mast", "height=190", etc., then
it will be rendered. See an example:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/409948785#map=17/46.45003/30.74254
A "mast" is in the JOSM list for "man_made" already.
The issue that "man_made=tower" is not rendered on the OSM map had been
raised already on the mailing lists. In my opinion, it is a significant
issue, in fact a disaster waiting to happen. There will be soon air-born
taxi in Dubai, Singapore, etc., and the extremely high communication
towers, the so-called aviation traffic obstacles
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_traffic_obstacle , are not rendered on
the OSM map at all.
On other maps say Maps.me map "man_made"=tower is rendered all right.
One could also add a "wikidata" tag to a mast or a tower. Almost all of
these high structures have got a Wikipedia article.
Best regards,
Oleksiy
