symbol=* is a human readable equivalent of osmc:symbol=*, both describe route symbols that are used as waymarkers or on guideposts
See Walking Routes for country specific use of this tag.
Description
The symbol tag is used for describing symbols of hiking and other trails in a human readable form. It is usually accompanied with osmc:symbol=*, which contains a machine readable description of the symbol of the trail. Example:
- symbol=red bar on white ground
- osmc:symbol=red:white:red_bar (->
)
You can use international naming options in this format:
Implementing software may choose to use a local database for connecting osmc:symbol=* values to an icon or to a name, or it can choose to loud read the value of the symbol=* tag.
A routing software might say: "Turn left to the red bar and follow for two kilometers."
