This changeset has been reverted fully or in part by changeset 60321688 where the changeset comment is: Revert changeset 60278210 because the unmaintained and buggy Wheelmap app located POIs at totally wrong locations and encourage users to trust the geocoder. Winnepeg is in Winnepeg.

Hi Mack80,
I am sorry but this changeset was more an accident than helpful. I had to revert it because many of the new features you added were located at totally wrong locations. You used the app "Wheelmap" to contribute data.
This has various reasons:
1. The app is not maintained any more and has a severe bug which came into play here. New features are located at the last known location of your device, this can be anywhere. In addition to that, the app does not check how accurate the position measurement was. The app is not developed by OpenStreetMap but by a third party and the OpenStreetMap community failed to convince them to fix their app.
2. If you search for a street, an address or a town, place do not blindly trust the result. You have added features on British Virgin Islands and in Charlottsville, Virginia but the tags of the features claim that they are in Winnepeg, Canada. There are many towns and villages all over the world which share the same name (there is not only the German capital Berlin but also a few villages in the U.S. called Berlin). Please cross check with the map around if street names match etc.
3. If you use the search, please do not just click on "Save". The location which is returned by the search often points on a street intersection. Shops are usually located in buidings, not on the road.
You are welcome to contribute to OpenStreetMap but please use our own, maintained apps, e.g. our online editor at openstreetmap.org.
I would like to ask you to add a 1 star review to the app at Google Play/Apple App Store.
Thank you.
Best regards
Michael
