[SOLVED] Searching For Campfires (lemm.ee)

I have the OSMand app on the Phone for offline and survival use. Plan is to search for campfires in an easier manner.

Right now, I have to zoom in (quite a lot), in order to even see a campfire icon.

I want to simply click a tag that displays all campfires and yet be able to zoom out a lot to see all campfires in the area. Is this even an option or am I just a moron and don't understand how the app works? (Don't answer that last part ;D)

If you search for "firepit", then choose the category (see image), then click "show on map" it should do exactly what you want :)

Works! Thank you! I was searching fireplace or campfire xD Much appreciated!

If you tap on an object, you'll see what the OsmAnd terminology for that kind of thing is that you can use in the search field.
