So far the coordinates we use for navigating to/from airports come from Wikidata, and are typically somewhere on the center of the whole airport area, typically a runway. That's far from ideal for navigation, as that's neither a location you want to or event can get to, and in extreme cases this even leads to navigation "snapping" to the opposite side of the airport entirely. Instead we want a coordinate around somewhere around the entrance. So far there's three types of information from OSM we consider here: * terminal buildings (or rather the center point of their bounding box) * entrance nodes on terminal building polygons (unfortunately not reliably available in the input data). * railway stations on the premise of the airport. This improves the result for many smaller or mid-sized airports considerably already. What this cannot improve is the situation at large airports with widely spread terminals (LHR, CDG, MXP, etc). Those however cannot meaningfully represented by a single coordinate anyway. Code isn't hooked up yet, this is just for local experiments at this point.
