Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Larger suggestions/Provide more maps or improve Wikimedia map with more POIs/Proposal

• Problem: For many tools and also in articles there is possible to use map. Unfortunatelly, default provided Wikimedia map is too much googlish - only streets, buildings, some water and forests. No POIs. Look at these maps:

On second and third map re visible some POIs, on the left I can only guess if there is some significant building (e.g church)

• Proposed solution: 1) Change wikimedia maps tiles and render some POIs and highlight public buildings and monuments
  2) Give possibility to choose different map - there exists many OSM renderers which are free to use.
• Who would benefit: Anybody who uses maps on Wikimedia projects
• More comments: Some wikis uses some derivation of MediaWiki:OSM.js, which have possibility of switching maps. But Kartographer and tools uses only wikimedia map.
