[review] POI layer

If you have a feedback about POI layer - comment to this issue ...

Analyzing what is missing ( based on Taginfo count )

SQL Output: (secret gist ) : https://gist.github.com/ImreSamu/a666974defc8c67da494349239b30045
based on 2016.nov.04 taginfo data and imposm3 mapping
( ~ select key,value, count_all from taginfo where not in [['imposm3_mapping']] order by count_all desc Limit 100 )

My rule of thumb :

• has a MAKI icon ? ( manual checking , so not fool safe )
• taginfo count_all >= xxxx
• I know as a OSM mapper ? ( personal feelings )

My suggestion for the NEW POI-s based on the SQL output ..

should

   key   |         value          | count_all 
---------+------------------------+-----------
 amenity | drinking_water         |    127332   ! https://github.com/mapbox/maki/blob/master/icons/drinking-water-11.svg
 amenity | ice_cream              |      8726   ! https://github.com/mapbox/maki/blob/master/icons/ice-cream-11.svg 
 shop | car_parts             |     24385  !
 shop | variety_store         |     17220  ! 
 shop | tyres                 |     10265  !
 sport | football                    |      3418   !
 sport | fitness                     |      2347   !

maybe

   key   |         value          | count_all

@bearnxx You also mentioned POI labels in OSM2VectorTiles?
Any ideas or additions?

@ImreSamu I agree with your should and actually also with all of the *maybe to add to the POI layer.
POI layer is not of utmost importance for us now since it is not really features heavily in any of the https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles-gl-styles but I am very willing to improve it.
I don't have a strong opinion except not to clutter it with invisible/not displayable POIs.

[lukasmartinelli]

POI layer is still something that can be greatly improved if someone wants to.
