Guys,<br><br>just merging the thoughts on "qualifying" POIs ... <br><br>how about, in addition to a POI having a street level entrance, we consider if the POI has prominent building signage? Some POIs may be inside a building but have very visible signage outside or in front of the building that serve as very good landmarks.<br>

In this case<br>
<br>
<a href="http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=7.078087&lon=125.614181&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF" target="_blank">http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=7.078087&lon=125.614181&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF</a><br>
<br>
Only KFC, Gerry's Grill and Pizza Hut have street level/accessible entrance. So if we agree on that "rule of thumb" to mapped only if they have a separate entrance. Should I remove Jollibee and McDonald's? Or retain the data as long as it is not cluttered?<br>
<br>
And in another case<br>
<br>
<a href="http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=7.062681&lon=125.593989&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF" target="_blank">http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=7.062681&lon=125.593989&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF</a><br>
<br>
All of these food chains do not have a street level entrance.<br>
