Unfortunately, I haven't try it yet. I just have read so many about it that 
I thought it's giving a reasonable output already. And ofcourse, it's better 
to test it on a piece of world I know - to compare the output to the 
reality. If it's gathering data via the Overpass-api, it seems it shouldn't 
be a problem to try it on any area (rather small) I can think of. Or do I 
miss something?
Please, where can I see it run to make a better notion?

I was rather curious about how it works (if it does) than having a concrete 
solution, but I will think of it. As you say, adding new nodes could 
sometimes do more harm than gain.
I can imagine one could fix the point relative to two (or three) mapped 
objects and known distance. I'll let you know when I think it over.

Thanks for your quick response.
