OSM Tag History
If you are looking for an easy way to add your bug report, you can also use
Notes
note
=*
is used to inform other
mappers
about non-obvious information about an element, the author's intent when creating it, or hints for further improvement. It is usually recorded against a
node
way
or
relation
. To inform end-users about something, use
description
=*
instead.
The tag
note
=*
is used:
to document a general note about an object and
as a
prefix
, e.g. in
note
access
=*
, to document why something has a specific
access
=*
value.
as a
suffix
, e.g. in
opening_hours
note
=*
, to document why something has a specific
opening_hours
=*
value.
Standard maps normally don't show notes.
The distinction between
note
and
comment
is that a note is generally used on nodes/ways/relations to describe real-world things like "the busstop is actually here but the signpost was knocked down in september 2009", whereas a comment is used on
changesets
The length of a note is limited to 255 characters by the OSM server. Caveat: some front-end editing tools seem to allow one to create longer notes but the upload of those notes will not succeed.
alt_note
=*
may be used, if 255 characters of the length isn't sufficient.
Tools
layers.openstreetmap.fr
- displays note's text directly as an overlay on the map.
JOSM
- displays a small "N" on object with a tag note attached.
See Also
comment
=*
- for adding text describing the changeset to other mappers.
description
=*
- for adding text that might be viewable to the end user.
fixme
=*
- to mark objects and places that need further attention.
maintenance
=*
- for notes about needed maintenance by the owner or operator of the feature.
do not confuse it with
Notes
- core feature of the OpenStreetMap.org which enables you to add a comment on the map to assist others in mapping/editing OpenStreetMap.
