add more information for POIs

[TimMagee]

In addition to latitude/longitude, POI type, and address, I recommend that we display other relevant information for POIs.

This would include:

• contact information (such as phone number, email address, and website)
• opening hours
• types of food served (for restaurants)
• whether restrooms are available
• whether WiFi is available
• And other information in the OSM database

That would depend on the used provider. I can add some data to OSM Scout Server, but for others it is hard to do. Could you bring an example and specify provider used in Pure Maps (online/offline/HERE?). If online then which specifically?

[TimMagee]

I only use the offline provider.

The two most important bits of information for me would be:

• Contact information. This uses the OpenStreetMap keys phone, fax, websiteand email along with everything in the contact:* namespace (including contact:phone, contact:fax, contact:website, and contact:email which are equivalent to there non-prefixed alternatives).
• Opening hours Most importantly this would be the openstreetmap key opening_hours. Please note that the full opening hours syntax is complex but a simple implementation that gets the basics would be of great help. All keys in the opening_hours:* namespace are also used to specify opening hours under specific circumstances

Here are some examples of POIs that have some or all of this information:

With offline we can maybe work something out. Some data is there, but maybe import has to be improved. I will have to work on importer soon and would try to check these POIs.
