the new added POI's (landmarks) are wrong labeled in Innsbruck.
example:
flughafen innsbruck is labeled as Flugplatz Münster, swiss
university innsbruck got wrong address
botanischer garten is labeled as Park der Lüste, Swiss

seems to me that all parks and airports got linked to places in swiss here in Innsbruck
POI's in Vienna got right labels on a quick check same in Linz - didnt check more.

anyone else found wrong labeled POI's elsewhere?

Lots and lots. A particular interest of mine is churches, and Google
takes the correspondence address of a church as its location. However,
post is probably addressed to the minister, who doesn't usually live
in the church. The end result is that the church icon on the map is
located close to the vicarage instead of the church.

There are certainly others. And inconsistencies in which icons are
displayed -- why one hotel in particular and not another, for example?

Including POI data has not been an unmitigated success. Read that with
British understatement switched on.

since POI's got wrong labels here in Tyrol (austria) and there is no option to style or interact with infowindow, i started a feature request for surpressing infowindows of points of interests.

Good idea. I starred it.
