Sounds like a better place for that would be a diary entry.

Be even better if the "aerial imagery" and "motorcycle survey" were in
a "source" tag rather than a "comment" tag.  And at least in the
latter case, I'd say skip the comment tag.  Just "added POIs" isn't
helpful, and the "from motorcycle survey" part would be better off in
a source tag.
