The summit icon will often have a number after it. I assume this number is elevation (in meters?). Can someone confirm? This is not explained in the map key (It shows the icon with the description "Summit and Peak") -- perhaps that should be added? This number is also not documented here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features#Natural |

As a general point, please make sure to say exactly which map (and layer) you are looking at, because each may have a totally different rendering! If you are talking about the "default" layer on www.openstreetmap.org, this is governed by this XML stylesheet which contains the section so yes, indeed, it is the contents of the "ele" tag that are written next to the peak symbol. It is possible that someone who works on the map key reads this and makes a change directly; otherwise, the best way to request additions to the map key is by submitting a ticket to trac.openstreetmap.org, our bug tracker. |

Yes, the elevation listed is in meters. |
