"I've killed some spawnpoints..."

#PokemonGO: TL;DR OSM tags amenity=kindergarten/place_of_worship/school block spawnpoints inside their areas.Before the last OSM Data update, I was slowly adding some tags on the map around the region where I live and also in my hometown. I thought 'what kind of biome would we have if I added this or that tag'? (just to clarify: I was adding real places, not making up places with those tags)Turned out I kind of killed some spawnpoints... one of them was in an area where I added the tag amenity=kindergarten. Another one was in an area where I added the tag amenity=place_of_worship around the actual church building.In my hometown, a catholic church building with the same tag swallowed some useful spawnpoints but the ones around it were retained since I had added landuse=religious instead. By tagging a nearby school with amenity=school I also killed 4 spawnpoints with only one remaining because it fell on a residential area right outside the school area.I hope this helps the community better understand the effects of different OSM tags in the game mechanics. via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2jrEowQ
