How to map

Add a node node where the map is located, and add tourism=information + information=map.

To describe the access to the shown routes use the access-keys e.g.:

Map type

key=value Description Example/photo
map_type=topo A map with topographical background for e.g. a historical or hiking map. The map contains contour lines.
map_type=street A map with all streets or ways of an area. The streets are mostly named. The angles, distances etc. are accurate. Used e.g. at tourist offices for the accommodation overview.
map_type=scheme A sketched map with only important ways and POIs. The angles, distances etc. are merely illustrative, not accurate. Used e.g. by travel agencies to explain their tours.
map_type=toposcope A marker erected on high places which indicates the direction to notable landscape features which can be seen from that point (associated with tourism=viewpoint).
