I am using a java library which uses Nominatim to extract the city names for a given latitude and longitude. I am looking for Node with id 108042 but I get "London Borough of Camden" as the city which is wrong. I am wondering why it happens. I even tried this link to ensure that the problem is not with the third party library that I am using but it also gives me the same information. |

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative lists what admin_level values represent in different countries. Look for United Kingdom and London is so big, everything moves up a level. London is tagged "London consists of a collection of boroughs, two of which are Cities. They are not towns" That's City of Westminster and City of London. Nominatim currently can't set different labels based on region, here: inside London. You'd have to identify London (maybe by postcode) and apply that. https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?osmtype=N&osmid=108042 |
