A board with a map.

How to map

Add a 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 hiking=yes, bicycle=yes, mtb=yes, horse=yes or ski=yes.

map_type=* What type of map is it?

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).
map_type=*	All commonly used values according to Taginfo

key=value	Description	Example/photo
map_size=site	A map of special site, like of a historical castle.
map_size=city	A map of a city.
map_size=landscape	A map for the landscape. for ex with map_type=toposcope

map_source=* - What is the source of the map's data?

key=value	Description	Example/photo
map_source=OpenStreetMap	A map based on OpenStreetMap. Also add map_source:attribution=yes if it has sufficient attribution (mentions both OpenStreetMap and ODbL), map_source:attribution=incomplete if it has some but not sufficient attribution (e.g. mentions OpenStreetMap but not ODbL), map_source:attribution=no if it does not attribute OpenStreetMap at all, map_source:attribution=sticker if someone used an attribution fixer sticker.
