I've recently taken to adding a direction tag to benches in . My convention is that the tag value corresponds to the direction of view.

Delighted to find that @vespucci_editor now shows (single) direction values, but wished I'd known about the whizzy direction tag gadget which uses the phone's compass yesterday. (It's a bit too clever if adding the values in retrospect.)

A black 4-seater bench with a backrest and arm rests set on grass. There is an inscription plate on the backrest.

@SK53 @vespucci_editor mapcomplete.org/benches allows you to add benches and has a specialized direction input module. And you can also easily add pictures with it

@pietervdvn thanks, but I'll stick with @vespucci_editor . I now have an excuse to sit on benches to record the direction, rather than just heeding to catch my breath
