[OSM-talk] Map search accuracy

Hello,

I've noticed that searching for small features exposes a slight
inaccuracy with the placement of the red arrow. For example, searching
for "Edgecombe House" and then zooming in twice shows this:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.470354&lon=-0.085346&zoom=18&layers=B0T

Which is not exactly far off, but then it is pointing at the wrong
building so if you followed the arrow at the default zoom level from the
search link (which doesn't show building names to help you spot the
mistake) you'd end up in the wrong place!

Kind regards,
Tom
