The OpenStreetMap Mug and the tag concept

Last week, I have received my OpenStreetMap Mug !


The mug serves as a reference for the most important and most popular tag/value combinations used on ways and nodes within the OpenStreetMap project. While it cannot explain the fiddly details it serves as a reminder and a quick help while mapping. Here is a complete flat view :


The tag concept and the fact that it is completely free and easy to expand is a key concept for OpenStreetMap. It enables the OpenStreetMap community to map anything they encounter anywhere in the World ! For example, among all the very popular tags displayed on this mug, a new one has been added : "amenity=mug, access=private".

You can buy the mug from Kernel Concept and a donation will be made to the OpenStreetMap Fundation ! For more information on OpenStreetMap tags, visit the Wiki !
