Hi, I'm using Nominatim to reverse geocode an OSM way. However there are some ways that cannot be geocoded. Please see: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?osm_id=126761805&osm_type=W I'm revisioning this using overpass api (that's where I got the way id from) and it shows some info. https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/HAv Why does Nominatim return Thanks, asked 02 Apr '19, 10:36  Yura |
One Answer:
Nominatim only imports features with names or reference numbers. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Development_overview#Tags_processed Overpass might be better suited if you're looking for unnamed ways. If you run your own instance of Nominatim you can change the defaults to import more (or less) https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/issues/1340 For lookup of features by OSM type and OSM id, the /lookup endpoint will be faster http://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/api/Lookup/ answered 02 Apr '19, 10:58  mtmail |
