Hi, OSM wiki documents
However, nodes with Question: How to make them visible? asked 02 May '19, 13:30  Van de Bugger |
One Answer:
The standard OSM map maintainers have been asked to render historic=tank but they declined for the time being since the tag is only used very few times in the global database. Until the usage increases you are probably out of luck seeing tanks rendered on that map. That does not mean that other maps or apps decide to show tanks but (unless someone else here knows one) you have to look around the different maps available and try to convince them one by one. If, and only if, the tank is also a tourist attraction, that is tourists go there explicitly and frequently to see the tank, it could additionally be tagged with tourism=attraction. That makes it a bit more likely the tank being rendered on maps. answered 02 May '19, 14:35  TZorn |
https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=17&lat=50.897853&lon=-0.47634 is an example of a map that'll show historic=tank as "something vaguely historic". You could use that style to create a map for the area local to you.
What I wouldn't do is to tag a tank as something else in order to get other maps to show it.
I already tried it, it does not help.
This is the problem. Mappers in my area do not use
historic=tankbecause such nodes are invisible; they tag tanks ashistoric=memorialinstead. OSM maintainers do not want to showhistoric=tankbecause there are too small tanks in the database.
