Do an import, but its not accurate enough for an import - 500 POI's will never be fully vetted. </div><div><br></div><div>2. Add a note so that someone can map it either from imagery or a ground survey - 500 notes will get checked by individual mappers. </div><div><br></div><div>3.

The bicycle repair station is located somewhere within 30 meters of this note. If you can easily identify the station, please map it and close this note.
