Well that one seems wrong to me as it is approaching the issue from one
of achieving feature parity with Google Maps, but as I have always
understood it that has never been our goal.
It also provides better user experience. Sure we can say that the main
website is only for mappers and having no hit boxes on POI's is OK but
then I guess I'd have to start questioning why do I keep spending all
this time on improving history view if it's not really the goal for the
main website to be usable...
Talk of "usable" is meaningless without saying what you want it to be
usable for - who the target audience is.
Unless of course the argument is that the site should be able to do
absolutely anything that a random visitor might ask of it - make tea?
mind children? order books from amazon?
I don't see what this has to do with the history view either - being
able to efficiently explore changes in an area is clearly something of
huge interest and usefulness to mappers.
I also haven't questioned the usefulness of the POI stuff - just about
whether different approaches have different audiences and are therefore
of more or less interest to us.
