Hi when click on paths via map type, I notice a symbol of a house shape with what looks like rain above it, can anyone tell me what does this symbol represent? Thanks

I saw this yesterday. I think it is a bus shelter, or a shelter in general.
Just to make sure. Find one and take the yellow man to it and you will see. Thats what I do when I find things on the map which I need to question.

Several of the symbols used on the map don't seem to make much sense. The House with "s" or something above it for one, is there a list of symbols used?

Hi - please see our FAQ regarding keys for the maps.

Ok, I got the message with the "keys for maps". But these aren't what I was looking for. For instance there are blue dots that I have taken for a water source, a small hut with "S" above which might be shelter (someone else asked about this); watchtowers, I am assuming are something to do with a land border. I am sure there are others, I just can`t think of them right now....

That's all the information we have about map keys. We may be able to find out more from looking at the OpenStreetMap map editor. If you can let us know the map coordinates of the symbols we can investigate further. You can get the map coordinates by right-clicking on the route planner map.

This si one of the "Houses with "S" over it". Although this one is next to a railway, they also occur in the middle of nowhere, sometimes it is possible to find some sort of structure, sometimes they might be bus stops or also nothing. 42.526679,3.078444

Looking at the OSM editor, the symbols are are follows:
- 42.735138,-0.139652 is a Spring
- 42.526679,3.078444 is a Transit Shelter
Thanks for find the symbols link Mark - that looks useful: OSM Symbols
- 42.735138,-0.139652 is a Spring
