Possible map_floor API bug?

I have been trying to get the WP / landmark data from mists which I believe is continent 2, floor 1.

However, if I enter…

https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/map_floor.json?continent_id=2&floor=1

I also get all other floor data for points_of_interest. Is this correct or should it just return the floor I requested?

It’s up to the level designers to decide how to organize this data.

Note that in Tyria for example, all waypoints, etc. exist on all 3 floors in-game, even though the waypoint itself is on just one floor. This is so that you can always see waypoints.

This is reflected in the map_floor.json API too. The technical implementation of the map data does not always consistently reflect the logical in-game understanding of the map.
