Results affected by the way of mapping #24

The way how a feature is mapped affects the result that we get from the app. There are features like cafes, hotels, clubs, restaurants, supermarkets etc which a mapper can add them on a map as a node or as an area, when the whole building is for this purpose. The app only shows POIs which are a node in the map, a single point. I saw that when I new that a hotel was in the OSM data but wasn't shown on the app, verified this with all the other categories. Getting less data then expected might also be from the ways how it's mapped, but I wanted to add this as a factor that influences search results.
