Culture or Tourism #379

Hi,

I am trying to create a map for my holiday and I find it very difficult to use 
your icons in some points.

On our journey are some villas. I would prefer to use the "villa" symbol in the 
category of culture(pink color), because it is more like a museum. The same 
issue is for castles and so on. 

Why have you chosen to combine culture with entertainement and nature with 
tourism and not culture with tourism and entertainment with nature?

My navigation system uses these categories seperately. I think it is confusing 
if a museum-like building is presented in green color. Because this has nothing 
to do with nature.

As a compromise some of the symbols could be recolored for the other category 
so everyone can decide which version he/she prefers.

But nevertheless: Thank you very much for the nice icons.

Bye!
