Option to make pubs visible at minimal levels of zoomFORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

Hello,

Whether I'm on holiday or at home I like to plot walks to new and interesting pubs. I am typically in rural areas so I have found plotaroute invaluable for this purpose. It's brilliant that they are visible when zoomed in on the OSM and Google maps. I then cross reference them with what's on google and decide if it's somewhere I would like to try. Currently I have to begin building a walk in a general direction and scroll around the map until I find a pub then I finalise the walk.

What would be super helpful though is if I could tick a button that made the little pint icon and name visible at minimal levels of zoom. Then I would know there was something in that area to consider trying. I could cross reference it with Google (extra points for including a link to the google business entry, pub website or tripadvisor etc) and then build the walk accordingly.

Cheers

Mat

Just whilst I'm here, for anyone in the Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk areas I make all my pub walking routes public and tag them with Pub!

I've got 15 so far but I'll keep striving for more! :)

Sounds like my sort of routes!  Thanks for this suggestion Mat. It really comes down to whether a global dataset is available for this data and how much this would cost to set up. We've already got a Feature Request (number 10) to do the same for cafés, so I've amended this now to cover a range of POI's. Hopefully this will be something we can look into at some point.
