So, the guideline not to snap them to a road is a valid one.

I missed that you were in the UK - it's quite early in the morning over here... And most of this conversation has been US-centric...

[Edit: isn't there a separate thread about landmarks in the US forum?]
I would have seen that IF you had quoted the post you were talking about. I thought you were responding to the post directly above yours - which clearly was US based.

This should be a more global discussion here.

suppress traffic != suppress map problems
Landmarks prevent map problems to appear "under" the polygons. all except restricted turns and route frequently not taken.
