The popup window is split into two tabs: Overview
and Details
.
By default the following properties will be shown in the Overview tab:

The popup window may be closed with the Esc key.
A thumbnail preview image can be displayed in the popup window.
Clicking on the thumbnail will open the full sized image in a separate browser window or tab.
The image is chosen from one of the links image=*.
If there's no appropriate image available a placeholder will be shown with the hint „Do you want a photo? Get involved!“.
The image=* tag can be used with all OSM objects. Images from Wikimedia Commons are preferred because of their high availability and their (mostly) open licence. There are already images for a lot of objects. There are several ways to find an existing image:
If you don't succeed finding a suitable image at Wikimedia Commons, you may upload one by yourself. Please remember that you're only allowed to upload images for which you hold the copyright. An online help is shown here: Uploading_files .
Links should point to the file description page rather than to the jpg file itself. In the example Semperoper, Dresden the attribute should be given as follows:
image=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Semperoper_at_night.jpg
The file description page enables the viewer to see also image meta information, licences, available sizes and so on. This is considered fair use regarding to the copyright owner.
There's a option on Openstreetmap to use image URL's to third party web pages.
Please be aware that these images might have individual licences and that these images might be available for an unknown period only.
The complete image URL is needed in image=* for third party images. No image preview is provided for other image sources, but a replacement image with a clickable link to the image website:
