Key:guide_type

The tag guide_type=* can be used in addition to information=guidepost to depict what type of guidepost it is.

tag	description	example
guide_type=destination	This type is supposed to show the directions to one ore more destination. See also: direction_*=*, e.g. direction_north=* Additional tags for example: location=pole
guide_type=intermediary	For guidepost with either a trail mark or an arrow (without text or distances) Additional tags for example: guidepost=hiking location=pole See also: information=route_marker
guide_type=numbered	In a node network a third type exists and/or may be combined with destination guide posts - the posts are numbered with an unique id and point to other uniquely numbered posts in the same network. The idea is to drive by numbers, i.e. the trip is planned beforehand by jotting down a list of numbers. Consecutively, each numbered guidepost is visited, essentially traveling from the place with the first numbered guidepost to the last.
