Hi,

I have tried to retrieve the gps coordinate from the street name with nominatim. The first time I have used this query url: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=via+augusto+dulceri+56&format=json

The result it's perfect.

If I change the url with another house number but the same street for example:

http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=via+augusto+dulceri+66&format=json

The gps coordinate it's the same.

I have tried some other street and the result it's the same. The first time nominatim retrieve the exactly position, but if I change the house number and use the same name street the result is always the same.

Where is the problem?

Regards Daniele

Nominatim is only matching the input to the street. See the class:highway in the json.

There isn't much house number data available in OSM there, so I guess most similar searches will only return the street (you can just delete the format=json from the URL to quickly take a look at this visually).

For comparison you may have a look how Nominatim works with two existing different house numbers: Kirchweg 4 and Kirchweg 24.
