After clicking on the Show my location button, I type bus station in the search box, and the results are very far from me. Is this a bug or a feature? After studying Nominatim, I can obtain the expected results searching for "bus stations near city_name", but I don't think the average user will try so hard. Don't you think Nominatim as used in osm.org should employ distance to prioritize/filter results? Thanks, asked 06 Apr '15, 13:54  fgnievinski edited 06 Apr '15, 14:47  aseerel4c26 ♦ |

I learned that Nominatim supports bounded searches, so maybe the Web interface at openstreetmap.org could show a check-box allowing users to set this option.
