Tools for this tag

For identifying and locating the world's five main major oceanic divisions, see  Ocean:

  • Arctic Ocean
  • Atlantic Ocean
  • Indian Ocean
  • Pacific Ocean
  • Southern Ocean

Note that seas (parts of oceans) are mapped separately, see place=sea.

How to Map

Add place=ocean and name:code=* (where code is ISO 639 code of the language) to the appropriate node. Because oceans belong to all nations, they don't have one main name, so leave the tag name=* empty.

Example

place=ocean
name:en=Atlantic Ocean
name:eo=Atlantiko
name:fr=Océan Atlantique
name:jp=大西洋
name:pt=Ilhas do Oceano Atlântico
name:es=Océano Atlántico
