nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse returns wrong address in special case

0

example: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml&lat=45.3283699&lon=40.71868&accept-language=en returns "Maykop, .... Adygea, South federal district, Russian Federation"

but http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ in bounds 40.34,45.56,41.1,45.13 shows Gulkevichi (Гулькевичи), which belongs not to Adygea, but to Krasnodar Krai area

it seems that problem is actual to region S45.31, W40.35, N45.34, E40.74

Your second example doesn't seem to be complete. What are you searching for within those bounds?

It might help if you describe what you're trying to do and what you would like to happen.

i use second example only to show that first example is not valid. Gulkevichi is situated near N45.32, E40.71: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=%D0%93%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B8&viewbox=40%2C44.66%2C40.21%2C44.55

The Maykop is situated to South - N44.6 40.1, Here: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF&viewbox=40.64%2C45.39%2C40.75%2C45.33

but reverse query to N45.32, E40.71 returns Maykop instead of Gulkevichi. It is an error
