Airports #6

Closed almccon closed 8 years ago

almccon commented 8 years ago

I've checked in at a few airports, and checkin-checker never finds a correspondence. Perhaps I'm just too far away from the OSM location (because airports are big) or else it's not checking for the right type of airport POI in OSM?

iandees commented 8 years ago

In most cases I imagine there isn't a point in OSM for the airport and the polygon for the outline is too far away from the Foursquare POI. This tool checks a 100 meter radius for all OSM types using Overpass. I bet I could bump that up to 500 meters and solve the majority of this problem.

I think this is fixed in #13, where I limit the OSM query to match airport-ey things and expand the search radius to cover even the biggest airports.

Cool! I'll keep an eye out for any changes when I next take a flight!
