POI pollution on the map
-
Hello,
Lately I noticed that Mapy has started adding more POIs from its own sources other than OSM. To be honest, I was used to only seeing mainly POIs as inserted in OSM but now I see many unnecessary extra icons in Mapy, which pollutes the map as a resullt!
A few examples below.
-
Planinski dom na Zelenici is already nicely mapped in OSM and displayed with the red alpine hut icon in Mapy. Why is there a redundant blue accommodation POI icon from Facebook as well?? It just creates POI pollution in that place.
-
What is with this sports complex icon on the alpine hut?? This is not a sport complex but an alpine hut.... so I don't know why display a sports complex icon there as well? Is this again a Facebook source that was somehow mistakenly rendered as a sports complex icon? There is, however, a playground next to this alpine hut, which is of course nicely mapped in OSM and also displayed in Mapy.

Not to mention many duplicate blue accommodation icons by Booking.com where a POI icon of hotel/guest house etc. from OSM already exists in Mapy but the same thing from Booking.com also appears in Mapy. Been seeing this for several years now...and many times Booking.com icons are not accurately placed on the map, while those from OSM are accurate!
Just a few examples, but there seem to be other kinds of redundant POI icons that appear in Mapy beside what's being mapped in OSM....

@Matic-K. Hi I reported the issues in the app.
-
@Robert-Knobloch Sure, but it seems to be a widespread "issue"... and I think should be discussed. Reporting one by one seems a bit counterproductive.

@Matic-K. I think the best way is to report it to the devs.
