Standardization of Certain Name of POI

Postby shawchyn » Fri Jan 01, 2010 2:35 pm

I just do a few quick check on certain POI naming, I found that the major 2 places that I go have more than 3 differents way of naming it.

I would suggest to do a amenment of the naming on next few release.

Correct Name: PappaRich Cafe
Inccorrect Name: Papparich, Paparich, Pappa Rich, Papa rich, etc.

I had made all 24 out of 27 of current PappaRich Cafe in operation to the following format:

PappaRich <Official Location Name>
Address & Tel is included in detail POI.

There are 3 more outlets, I haven't confirm its actual coordination, so will update once I had a confirm on it.

POI moderators, please remove those overlaps POI for the same location, so it make the database smaller.

overlapped? Bro shawchyn i think you misunderstood.

You will see 2 POI on the same location with the same name. 1 POI custom icon is for display on the map. Another one is the information such as food POI type and phone numbers.
