I think this is style dependant? I get 50% rubbish right now - (as compared to what I find via "nearest places) in all categories.
Yes I do see quite a lot of things that shouldn't be there, up to 50% I would agree.
If you get it to show the same as nearest places it would be great, otherwise (but this would be a good idea in any case) it would be great if one could exclude POI via points file in the style-file e.b. by having a line like this: highway=traffic_lights [0x* resolution 24 -noindex]
There are many POI that are nice to have in a map, but not needed to be searched for (e.g. traffic_lights, park benches, railway crossings, trees, diverse obstacles like bump_gate, kissing_gate,..., water_tower, energy plant, cliff, wayside shrine, .......
Well as far as I can tell most or all of those things can't be in the index anyway, and also only things that have names are included. So once it is fully working I think it will be just fine. But lets wait until then and see.
Really great that it is more or less working however! (well city, state/province, country still not usable - city would be great to have off course)
Yes I think we know enough to add these, so that should happen fairly quickly, barring unforeseen problems. ..Steve
