0	Is it possible to define a sector linked to an existing icon? Example add a sector icon on a cell tower to show where the cell is pointing (direction 0 to 360 degrees) If so, is it possible to rotate an icon? sector asked 09 Jan '23, 09:22 emwjosj 11●2●2●4 accept rate: 0%

1	OpenSeaMap does it for lights. I've seen maps of CCTV with sectors as well. Best regards. permanent link answered 09 Jan '23, 10:33 H_mlet 5.4k●17●81 accept rate: 13%

Thank for your tips :-) Next question, is it possibly to add OpenSeaMap:s icons and functions into OpenStreetMap? - They seems to use same map view.

The OpenSeaMap raster tile layer is designed as an overlay, to add data upon another basemap, usually openstreetmap-carto.

Managing different layers is easy, with Leaflet for exemple.

You could probably re-use their software to generate an overlay of your design. Probably not trivial though.

Hi again

I found something called "Mapnik" - a tool to add and change layers in OpenStreetMap. Is this a way forward?
