<p>Related discussion on <a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.ch/pipermail/talk-ch/2018-May/thread.html#9523" rel="nofollow">[talk-ch] mailing list</a> (continued <a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.ch/pipermail/talk-ch/2018-June/thread.html#9576" rel="nofollow">here</a>).</p>
<p>(My) TL;DR summary: Some mappers feel that there should be a straight-forward way to get a POI's "address" (even for POIs that don't have one of their own, like most fountains) so that when one would like to direct someone there who has a navigation device that only takes addresses as destination inputs, you can give them that address.</p>
<p>(IMHO this should be fixed in those navigation devices and they should accept WGS84 coordinates, too.)</p>
