Here's one I made earlier: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6960819404 I went with "tourism=information; information=stone" to parallel "information=guidepost" and "information=route_marker" which are more commonly used as route markers. Another example (tagged slightly differently, that probably wouldn't work for the Cotswold Way one) is: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1651183163 Another one (not part of a route this time) is https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6785704793 That one is a stone flush with the pavement nd sounds a bit like yours but perhaps a bit more arty.

Typically, not always. I've seen memorial plaques that are about 30 degrees to the horizontal. 2.

It isn't commemorating anything. memorial=plaque is often used with historic=memorial. The wiki for that says "A feature for tagging smaller memorials usually remembering special persons, peoples lost their lives in the wars, past events or missing places." I'd say that tourism=information + information=plaque is better. You could maybe go with tourism=information + information=board + board_type=geography but few people would expect to see a horizontal board. Since information says user-defined values are OK then information=plaque. If somebody can come up with a word for plaques set in the ground, then go with that. -- Paul ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
[Tagging] pavement placed plaque
Hi I've a carved stone plaque(?) that's fixed flush into the pavement. it's to indicate the start/finish point of a long distance walk. https://whatsdavedoing.com/cotswold-way-guide/#start Two questions: 1 Is plaque the best name? Our Wiki quotes Wikipedia as it being vertical, but that seems a bit restrictive to me. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:memorial%3Dplaque 2. Are there any alternatives to 'memorial' which again, seems too specific/restrictive, tourism=information, information=plaque maybe? Anybody have similar examples?
