Template documentation[View] [edit] [history] [Purge]

This template uses TemplateStyles: Template:Software/styles.css

This template collects all notes of a software together. Some common information is displayed as an infobox.

To describe a tile layer or slippy map you can use Template:Layer.

Hint: Please only document software for end users in this way. Libraries can be documented here: Software libraries

Who also uses this data?

The template was also used by User:TTTBot to extract data for the software tables.

Now data from this template are extracted by:

• Osm Software Catalog — Desktop Windows application. Supports sorting, filtering and comparison. Based on Software template entries.
• OSM Apps Catalog — A WebApp. Supports filtering and comparison. Based on Software, Service item and Layer template entries. Enriched with data from the Taginfo Project list.

The template and the Module:Software also adds categories and subcategories listed in Category:Software

Usage

Use only one single instance of this template! Don't add multiple ones on translated pages! You don't have to provide all information but try to gather as much as possible to get a nice overview for different perspectives of your tool (e.g. navigation, development, ... aspects).

Genre values, not exhaustive

Value	Explanation
display	The main goal of the software is to display OSM map
navi	The main goal of the software is navigation through GPS and routing
logger	The main goal of the software is to record a GPS track
router	The main goal of the software is to calculate route (not navigation, only computation)
editor	The main goal of the software is to edit OSM data and upload changes to OSM server
renderer	The main goal of the software is to render OSM data to tile images
converter	The main goal of the software is "convert" data
analyser	The main goal of the software is to analyse OSM data. For quality assurance.
