After 6 days since I inserted the street names I still can't search for this street information. I visited this page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/FAQ My data is still missing and it's been several days Check the date of the latest data refresh at the top of http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ as there may be a delay with the refresh. If it's up to date, you can verify if your data has been loaded and force it to be indexed using the following url http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details?osmtype=[N|W|R]&osmid=<idnumber> If no item is found then your data has not been loaded, please report the problem and the osm id number of the feature using trac.openstreetmap.org. I tried to use this information but got stuck. what information do I enter in this parameters ?osmtype=[N|W|R]&osmid=<idnumber> asked 30 Jan '11, 20:56  Trumbun |
One Answer:
The [N|W|R] is wanting N for node, or W for way, or R for relation (depending on the type of thing you are searching for). The idnumber is the ID of the thing you are checking. Suppose I added a new way, and the ID of that way is 28523243. Thus I would use the URL: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details?osmtype=W&osmid=28523243 (Alas I get an error about being unable to connect to the database for that URL, but you get the idea.) answered 31 Jan '11, 04:17  Ebenezer |
The talk page for Nominatim seems to suggest that it is not currently updating. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Nominatim#nominatim_not_up_to_date_.28january_2011.29
