The following are all tags used for common natural features in Iceland (and probably elsewhere) on nodes (along with place=locality to get them to render). They're traditionally rendered as plain text on maps:

  • natural=fjord
  • natural=heath
  • natural=valley
  • natural=peninsula
  • natural=bay
  • natural=channel
  • natural=inlet

The list is ordered roughly by how prominent each should be on the map. But of course these things can differ wildly.

To recap from irc: you are proposing to render them as plain texts, on a node, the same as place=locality, but at lower zooms.

Ideally the labels would be based on size and shape of an area, but that is currently hard to achieve.

Replying to [comment:1 Ldp]:

Right, Ideally we'd be tagging them as areas but getting an extended version of the place=locality plain-text label would be fine for now.

Here are proposed zoom levels to show the features at, shouldn't bee too invasive:

  • fjord/heath/bay: 8..18
  • valley/peninsula: 10..18
  • channel: 12..18
  • inlet: 13..18
