Some mappers distinguish this tag from trail_blaze
with route_marker
being used solely when also indicating direction of the trail (with an arrow). Other mappers use these two interchangeably. See information=trail_blaze
for more information.
How to use
Tag a marker that shows the position of the way of a route without providing information about destinations (in which case you would use information=guidepost
) with information=route_marker
on a node . Such a marker may or may not indicate by a symbol that it belongs to a particular route.
To describe access, you can use hiking=yes
, bicycle=yes
, mtb=yes
, horse=yes
or ski=yes
.
Additional tags

– To describe what supports the marker (e.g. a tree, a post, a wall etc.)
