Information

This page is under continuous development. This page is under continuous development. The described tagging and mapping conventions/guidelines are the ones most commonly used in Uganda Flag of Uganda.svg (country=UG). New features might be added as new requirements evolve from projects or OSM Mapping Features proposals. This page is intended to help those mappers in Uganda Flag of Uganda.svg that are new to the project, or those more experienced but looking for a common way of mapping and tagging in the country.

This is intended as a guide based on what contributors to the page think is best. There may be other equally acceptable alternatives - if so add them to this page with an "or" separator, or discuss first on the Talk page. At least it is advised to consult the page administrator(s) User icon 2.svgBert Araali (on osm, edits, contrib, heatmap, chngset com.) or the Mapuganda.png MapUganda team.
Warning
 Validity of keys and values: some of the tags or key values are proposed features. They may not appear in Map Features or validator tools may highlight them as warnings to be checked. They are used in Uganda Flag of Uganda.svg because the information was available and needed to be stored. The proposed keys and values are carefully selected and used commonly in other parts of the world. They are likely to be accepted in the near future. You can identify these keys or values in the description below as purple/magenta text (links).
