Where to place the POI is important, especially the POI with large compound and with other road next to it! For example, Pantai Putri Hospital Ipoh, the POI is place within the compound but next to Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah (U) which have no entrance there. When you search Pantai Putri Hospital Ipoh and go, here what you get...
take longer route and no entrance.
Where to place the POI, where POI have large compound.

POIs should be placed near the front entrance so that routing will take users to the entrance. Please report POIs which were placed incorrectly.

Ya! Just like the newbie to take note and aware!
I have one experience , when I and my family went to Leisure Bay Penang last year. We reach Penang almost 8.00pm. I have full confident since I know the POI is already in the map, then we take our sweet time to taste the hawker foods somewhere in George town before we check in, by the time we finish almost 9.00pm already, then I depend on GPS to lead me to the apartment. When I reach the destination...is the end of the road, (Jalan Bunga Melati) a banglo gate is in front of me, what 's a joke! The night is dark already. Lucky there are few kid playing at downhill where there point me to the apartment.
The green road was submit by me there after.

Re: Where to place the POI, where POI have large compound.
For exisiting POIs, this error will be easily detected while mapping polygons (provided Points and roads are preserved from the original MP). Quite a few POIs I had adjusted already while mapping Langkawi (a separate submission uploaded at the map's feedback section). I even mapped some internal roads if the POI is located far from the road (a separate MP uploaded at the map's feedback section).
The point is, as users of registered version of Mapedit (with GE overlay), we have the advantage of correcting these errors without much effort. So let's map and correct for the betterment of MFM.
