information	office		An office where you can get information about a town or region.
information	visitor_centre		A place where you can get information about a specific attraction or place of interest.
information	board		A board with information. To describe it closer, have a look at board_type=*.
information	stele		A stele for information.
information	terminal		A information terminal provides information access via electronic methods. Mostly it is combined with access to the internet. (See internet_access=*.)
information	audioguide		A place where you can get information using headphones or a mobile phone. This tag can be combined with fee=* and ref=*. If you want to describe a audio service via mobile phone, you have to add the phone number via phone=*.
information	map		A board with a map. To specify the type or shown details, have a look at map_type=* and map_size=* in information=map. To describe the access to the shown routes or the kind of route use the keys e.g hiking=yes, bicycle=yes, mtb=yes, horse=yes or ski=yes.
information	tactile_map		Tactile maps are maps for the blind, also known as haptic maps.
information	tactile_model		Tactile models are models for the blind representing buildings and surroundings.
information	guidepost		Signposts/Guideposts are often found along official hiking/cycling routes to indicate the directions to different destinations. To describe the access to the shown routes or the kind of route use the keys e.g hiking=yes, bicycle=yes, mtb=yes, horse=yes or ski=yes.
information	post		A small pole, erected vertically, with information on the top or sides that may be inscribed, or on a small plaque. Somewhat similar to an information=stele, but smaller.
information	route_marker, trail_blaze		A marker that shows the position of the way of a route. Could be a symbol, a short pole or a painted marking. Note that two partially equivalent tag values are used: a more popular route_marker and less popular trail_blaze, which documents the difference some mapper see between the two. To describe the access to the shown routes or the kind of route use the keys e.g hiking=yes, bicycle=yes, mtb=yes, horse=yes or ski=yes. See also: trailblazed=* (a key for the use on paths or tracks which are marked).
