Legend

Moin,
where can i find the legend of the map “OSM deutscher Stil”? For example i want to know, what the landuse around “Lauenstein” and “Salzhemmendorf” is.

Thanks

If you go to the same area on osm.org https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.0738/9.5675 , you can zoom in and use the “query features” button to find out.

No

The legend colors don’t match to the background colors of the map. In the map there are areas witch have the following hex colors: #F2EFE9 and #EEF0D5. These colors do not exist in the legend.
And the query function do not response any information about the background type.

Don’t know about the legend. Go to openstreetmap.org, enable data layer (right hand side menue “Ebenen” → Kartendaten) and click the object you like to know more about:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/52.07407/9.57440&layers=D

Wieder was gelernt.

Can you tell me what are the land uses of the areas below left and top right to the street?
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/52.07408/9.57029

Left bottom is just empty as in no data. Someone would need to map an area there which would probably be farmland.
Top right is farmland.

There are several cases where some features will not get rendered as such and might be displayed as if there was no data. Not at this spot though.

As well as the farmland and undefined areas that kartonage mentioned, looking along the whole length of the street there are also some residential areas, and an area of industrial landuse at the northern end.

Top right is farmland.

How do you know this?

One way: enable the data layer as PHerison described. This shows a blue outline around map features including the area you refer to. The outline is clickable. Clicking it shows the data (tags) for the feature on the left of the screen. This one is tagged as landuse = farmland.

Another way: use the query tool button as SomeonElse said. Move the pointer within the area close to the edge and click it. You will get a list of nearby features on the left of the screen, one of which is farmland. Move the mouse over the list and the relevant feature will be highlighted in red, confirming that farmland is the one we are looking for.

Another way (requires user account): hit the Edit button, select the feature of interest, and see what appears on the left.

First: thank you! That’s it.

Second: OMG, why?

I want to know what the area is. And the legend ist totaly wrong! Not very user friendly.

OSM-carto, the default style on osm.org has a legend in the wiki:Standard tile layer Key.

I don’t know whether the German style also has one. Although it’s quite uncommon for online maps to have a key. For example Google Maps and Bing Maps don’t have one (or at least not one that’s easy to find).
