|Definition:||Topographic prominence of peak in meters|
Prominence (or prime factor ) is a objective measurement of how independent/important a peak is. "Peak baggers" are often very concerned with this number.
Prominence can be used to select peaks for rendering. A scheme which can work both for Denmark and Switzerland, would be: If too many peaks to render within a area at a zoomlevel, select the ones with highest prominence. Different thresholds should be used for peak symbol only, versus render peak with the name.
- name= Mont Blanc
- natural= peak
- note= any one know the quality of coordinates ?
- name:it= Monte Bianco
- ele= 4810.90
- prominence= 4695
- name:fr= Mont Blanc
A Relation peak:prominence could be define to relate a peak to its "key col" and to its "parent peak"?
