Yeah, I deleted quite a few POIs for things that no longer exist. Sorry if I sounded mad in my message. :) I still question the value of this data given my (brief, informal) survey of what it brought to my local area. I think I may have also deleted a few nodes where I had already mapped the feature. I can go back and transfer the GNIS tags to the existing feature if you think that would be helpful.<br>

I thought I had deleted those from the data before import, but it looks like most of them got imported. I was planning on searching for those IDs and deleting them when I scrape through the planet dump next week.<br>
