Hi, that is an excellent question, but I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve.
Are you trying to add some virtual points to a trip you are planning? (i.e. "at this point, I will have travelled 1 mile")
Or are you trying to add physical milestones (or historical milestones) into the shared geospation database called "OpenStreetMap"?
If so, the approach will be completely different.
milestones into the OSM database. I think I figured it out https://www.openstreetmap.org/query?lat=40.24135&lon=-82.96042#map=19/40.24125/-82.96012
I think you've mis-tagged that and it should be highway=milestone.
Thats what I wasn't sure on. I found some pages saying highway but other saying path. Was trying to figure out whats the most current.
I'm no expert but it's what I'd go for!
