I've been looking at dozens of POI's, mainly servos, over the last few
weeks, checking that mapped locations match with reality. I have yet to find
a single one that's actually on a road. The POI location is usually mapped
to the middle of the main
I've been testing routing instructions on my Garmin for routes that I
use regularly - makes great quality control, as it shows up badly drawn
roundabouts, incorrect streets, all sorts of rubbish.
A while back I tried to navigate to a BP service station from only a
few hundred metres away. You

Any suggestions?
It might need a service road connecting the BP node to the surround roads.

I thought of that. I just don't like using sledgehammers on walnuts.
The service road exists in reality, so it's just a matter of improving
the map to reflect reality more closely.
In fact a lot of servos

So the routing software has to approximate the target node with some
other node that *is* connected... and if the router does this
approximation sub-optimally, this is a problem with the router, right?
How can it possibly know? This is garbage in,

Good question. I'm not sure. OSM's data should at least include 1)
service roads (to decrease the distance between the POI and the
nearest road, which should decrease ambiguity), and 2) entrances (to
resolve ambiguity in the case of more than one

But it's relevant to anyone who is placing POI's. Where should they be
placed - floating inside the building or on the building outline (at
the entrance)?
Floating inside. Placing it on the building outline seems wrong
