Important notes:

  • This key has never been really discussed publicly. This thread on the tagging mailing list suggests to deprecate these landmark tags when it's already existing and use instead a generic "maritime_landmark=yes". For instance, instead of "landuse=cemetery" + "landmark=cemetery", use "landuse=cemetery" + "maritime_landmark=yes". --Pieren 18:08, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
Note that maritime_landmark=yes is also undiscused and unused.

Usage: see tag history
