A question, then: what proportion of OSM POI's are disconnected?
Should we be taking steps (in terms of mapping guidelines) to ensure
POI nodes and buildings (and anything else likely to be a routing
target) are connected to the road grid?
Presumably this has come up before - but this question seems to be the
key issue here.</pre>

I've been looking at dozens of POI's, mainly servos, over the last few
weeks, checking that mapped locations match with reality. I have yet to
find a single one that's actually on a road. The POI location is
usually mapped to the middle of the main building.<br>
