Show Survey Points on hiking map #156

Open nonZero opened 10 months ago

nonZero commented 10 months ago

I am strating to add historical survey points which still physically exist (Known as נקודות טריאנגולציה == נ. טריגים). Examples:

Although this is an extremely niche node, I would appreciate it if this could be rendered on the map. :-)

I think a survey point with a natural=peak should b renderred as a triangle with a dot in the middle and a survey point without a peak should be rendered as a triangle.

You can create a "custom" layer using the overpass turbo query and share this layer with others. Would that be a good solution to this issue?

That's an excellent start :-) Should I do something like this, but with OT geojson URL: https://gist.github.com/zstadler/e35007d7171d3ce58ac4099032b97888/ ? Last time I couldn't make it show a triangle... The rendering is quite limited. Any other suggestion?

Currently nobody cares about these survey points, but if we have more, hikers might like them! I suggest we check this in about a year - if and after we have more nodes.

Follow the end of this thread: https://github.com/IsraelHikingMap/Site/issues/1791 Let me know if you have any questions. I wouldn't fixate on showing a rectangle, although it's possible with a transparent image I believe.
