Is there a mobile app that displays guidepost text information? I tried the App OsmAnd: show the icon but not the text.

Can you link to some of the guideposts that you'd like to see the text displayed for? It'd be useful to see how it is actually tagged (I can think of a few possible ways).
This is the area: https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=17/46.42920/13.34459
The tags: ele=1210 hiking=yes information=guidepost note=619: Cadramazzo 1:40;619: Cuel de la Bareta 0:30 Val Dogna 2:00 operator=Club Alpino Italiano tourism=information
I would like to view the text: "619: Cadramazzo 1:40;619: Cuel de la Bareta 0:30 Val Dogna 2:00
Thanks - for completeness the nearby nodes are https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5744342285/history , https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5744342287/history , https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6515270416/history .
Maybe I found a solution: add the name tag
For example: name=CAI 619: Cadramazzo 1:40;619: Cuel de la Bareta 0:30 Val Dogna 2:00
That is not a good idea. That would be tagging for the renderer at its finest. The name tag is for the name and the name only.
You don't put a restaurant's menu in its name tag, either, do you?
Many thanks. Actually the idea is not mine, I have explored other guidepost in the vicinity and they seem to use this technique. But as I am inexperienced, I will try to ask the local contributors.
Maybe the problem is that the
619: Cadramazzo 1:40;619: Cuel de la Bareta 0:30 Val Dogna 2:00part has been added in thenotetag. As per the CAI page in the Wiki, the619should be added in areftag and theCadramazzo 1:40;Cuel de la Bareta 0:30;Val Dogna 2:00should be in adestinationtagEDIT: I've edited the guidepost's tag following the Wiki rules. I don't know how long will it take to OsmAnd to get the edits (at wors a month).
EDIT2: I also see that OsmAnd displays the
notetag in the information panel (see image)Many thanks
Many thanks Mannivu!
