Proposal

These tags are made for making a naval map, mainly based on IALA standard. It do need many more tags for old navaid systems.


Rationale

Today there is no structural way to tag navaid, so this is a beginning.

Lighthouse sector

Rendering

A naval chart need to be complete to be safe, therefore every map that uses these tags should be marked with something like: “This chart should not replace any official naval map.”
