[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 :)

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.
