On OpenStreetMap (OSM), in editing mode, I see a lot of tagged objects that are not visible on the public map. For example street lamps 💡. And even trees 🌳.

This is fantastic! I just wonder what the purpose is?

@rom255 You've gotten great answers so far. As an example, check out Open Infrastructure Map. It shows things like power lines, which are definitely tagged in OSM but not shown by default renderers: https://openinframap.org/

There's also Surveillance under Surveillance, which will show various types of cameras: https://sunders.uber.space/

Open Infrastructure Map

Open map of the world's electricity, telecoms, oil, and gas infrastructure, using data from OpenStreetMap.
