I've noticed that for the following queries, the bounding boxes and/or
place type are nonsensical/broken. I would attempt to fix myself but the
source data for these locations seems to be more official than a newbie
like myself should go around editing:
- United States (the world, at zoomlevel 2?)
- Phoenix, Arizona (an insignificant street corner; the Anthem suburb, or
a single point at the city center?)
- Tempe, Arizona (a university ranks highest, and a random intersection
ranks second?)
- Mesa, Arizona (a residential neighborhood, city hall, or a bunch of
squiggles?)
It seems like some of these entries have good intent ("the city hall
building is a city, right?") but are sorely lacking ("where did half the
city borders go?"). If you have suggestions for me to fix these myself,
I'll take them, I just didn't want to go in and disagree with
