Hi thliborius,
You have added a locality P.2860, this name does not sound like a typical name in use. Considering the altitude in the direct environment, could this actually be a peak without name?
If yes, then please change to natural=peak combined with ele=2860.
Keep up the high altitude mapping, I don't dare to go there yet.
Cheers,

Hi dikkeknodel,
when you look at the swissmap (https://map.geo.admin.ch) you will see a cross with the elevation on the map at that position. It is not a real peak with a name, just (in this case) the highest point in the enviroment and often used for reference in tour reports (and there written as shortcut "P." for "Point" or "Punkt").
But on ridges the lowest point there is also often marked on maps like that - so it isn't really a peak (if you have a look on the swiss map, a bit south there is the "Schwanderer Grat" with lots of these points, for instance P.2795 is more a saddle - I was there but didn't set a waypoint).So what do you suggest? Mapping it as locality or something else? I think peak doesn't really fit.

Hi thliborius,
Thanks for getting back this quickly. I understand the difficulty, and don't really have a solution either. I am not really familiar with what is relevant to map at high altitude. Although IMHO a high point in between two low points would be a peak and a low point in between two high point would be a saddle, without the relevance of having a name. So when you say 'the highest point in the environment' then I would be inclined to call it a peak. It is however arbitrary which prominence (and how to calculate) is needed to asign these terms.
Since I am not the high altitude specialist, I will leave it up to you.
Cheers,

Hi dikkeknodel,
ok, thanks for your advice. I think I will try to get an answer in a discussion board. Maybe there is a special tag for these kind of points. As I said: it is a bit difficult because sometimes these points are saddles, sometimes peaks or sometimes only a special point on a ridge.
Greetings,
thliborius
