Points of interest such as these usually have to be added one-by-one. Sometimes GIS data will have points for churches, schools, courthouses, etc but even then they will often be off by anywhere from a hundred feet to a significant chunk of a mile. I try to map at least the ones I care about or that I know are popular. I also try to update restaurant locations that have closed or re-opened under new ownership. > It would be nice if we can put the speed limits of the roads in some > format so it can be used with the map, but I don't know enough about > the map or development to make it happen. We do have a tagging scheme for speed limits, though a lot of roads are not tagged yet. -- Shawn K.
