<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">I definitely agree that the most useful POI’s are those for tourists (hotels, restaurants, shops etc.)

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Nonetheless, a lot of navigation systems rely upon OSM and thus OSM’s POI layer for navigation purposes. Therefore I think it would be a good idea to include
as many POI’s as possible (not just for tourists, seeing as some people sometimes struggle to find things in their area, myself included haha).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
