It's a great idea but open to abuse, particularly for POIs. For
instance, following the POI for the Europa hotel in Belfast took me to
Europcar car rentals. I can't believe this was an accident.

Similarly, following the POI for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in
Birmingham took me to the Queen Elizabeth Medical school.
