#14989 closed enhancement (fixed)

support direction for viewpoints

Description

Viewpoints normally have a preferred direction (but are tagged very rarely). According to the OSM wiki, there are several ways how to tag a viewpoint direction:

tourism=viewpoint
direction=200-270 (for a view to south-west)
direction=70-110;250-290 (for limited view to east and west)
direction=west (main direction to west)

Right now, JOSM throws the warning "unusual value for direction". It would be great, if the viewpoint preset guides the user how to map a proper direction.

By the way: OpenTopoMap renders viewpoint directions.

direction values with a range (x-y) are very rare, see https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/?key=direction#values all other valid direction values shouldn't raise a warning. (See r11338)

There is a new map showing viewpoint directions: https://osmtools.github.io/direction/
The code can be found here: https://github.com/osmtools/direction
Perhaps JOSM could render directions, too. So the user can check his direction on-the-fly.

Viewpoint with a certain direction is a common feature of a topo-maps and tourism maps in general. I wouldn't mind having it in the standard style.

In any case, it would be fairly complicated (and inefficient) to make a visualization with the current mappaint features. Some custom code and a new Element type could be added for direction rendering of viewpoints.
