Posted by pavithrans on 15 March 2010 in English.

I add many tags in JOSM according to presets . But where do additional tags end up ?

is there an api which can fetch the entire information I mean something more than what is just shown via OSM

They wind up in the same place as any other tags - in the database where they can be fetched from the api and from where they will be placed in the planet file each week.

Go to osm.org and if you click the plus symbol '+' on the top right corner of the map, then select 'data' you can select each individual element.

The map itself will only ever show a small subset of information, that doesn't mean the information itself is lost or not useful for non-graphical representation or custom rendering.

Have a play with OpenStreetBrowser. This has clickable POIs which make use of more of the tags:
