A chimney is a structure which provides ventilation of hot flue gases or smoke from a boiler, stove, furnace or fireplace to the outside atmosphere. Normally found near power stations or large factories.
Please only map huge industrial chimneys (for example of factories), not normal chimneys of houses - approximate height at least 10 meters.
How to map
