Thumbnail preview image

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!“.

 Do you want a photo? Get involved.

Specify an image=* source

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:

  1. Map: Geo-referenced images can be shown on an OSM map: WikiShootMe.
  2. Wikipedia article: If there's a Wikipedia article, its images can be used. Often one can find the corresponding Wikimedia Commons category following the „See also“ link - there may be more images.
  3. Categories: All Wikimedia Commons Images are categorized. Here's an explanation: Commons:Categories

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 .

Specify a Wikimedia-Commons image URL in image=*:

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.

Other image sources:

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:
