Already my handheld has a menu that lets me select for major categories, so I won't find zoos while looking for gas stations. (Though it would be nice to say NO PIZZA, NO SUBS, and sometimes NO CHINESE FOOD...) I see it more as a matter of resources and business model. If there's a way to get good data for everything, great -- if not, I think it's OK to focus on areas where there's a strong need. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
