Default Could we have clearer definitions for the POIs?

I really like the EQ2 map and appreciate all the work put into it.

There are so many bad POIs and duplicate POIs and incorrectly labeled POIs. It seems like a lot of people submitting POIs don't know the difference between a "named" and a quest location and an NPC. When I look at the map for Nektulos Forest, for example, there are lots of POIs that are entered twice like a double post. I use the map when I can't find something. Is it really necessary to have the location for 10 mushroom caps, when these are scattered all over the Forest and very easy to find? Is it necessary to have all 24 torches of forewarning marked, when they are all obviously located along the same road, one after another?

A lot of these POIs seem to just add clutter to the map. On the Enchanted Lands map someone is adding the locations of the pages that show up on the ground. If we keep adding these kind of POIs the maps will be so covered with dots that the POIs will become a useless mess.

I think the FAQ should clearly describe what each type of POI means. The only place you can see this is when you're entering a new POI or correcting one.
