Hi, Points of interest (tourist attractions etc) have started appearing in maps for some UK cities as produced via the maps API (but not in the public Google Maps), marked with brown labelled icons (see e.g. central London where Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, etc. are marked).
In the maps for Oxford these markers include some (but not all) of the Colleges and University buildings, and several are actually in the wrong place! This is seriously unhelpful when trying to use the maps API to produce maps of the location of the Colleges... (e.g. http://www.ox.ac.uk/colleges/map_of_the_colleges_and_halls/ -- zoom in to e.g. Hertford to see several of our points and Google's points). So, two questions please: 1. Is there any way to exclude these icons from the maps? 2. Where is the data coming from -- e.g. is it a feed from an existing source like the Wikipedia POIs in GEarth? NB these points don't seem to appear in the Tele Atlas maps, at least not the ones where changes can be submitted (http:// mapinsight.teleatlas.com/mapfeedback/index.php). Any suggestions gratefully welcomed -- I have tried searching the documentation, this group, Google blogs, etc and not found anything relevant, but apologies if I've missed it.
