Hi, I see there is a problem with OSM regarding reverse geocoding. For example for address in city Katowice: Katowice, Śródmieście, 18 sierpnia It returns that it is city "Gorzów Wielkopolski" = But, if word in address will be changed to "Katowice, 18 sierpnia" it returns corect address for city Katowice: How to avoid such problems? Cause it totally different cities and provide more problems than help. I don't understand why OSM does not include word "Katowice" as main city or at least try to check Katowice, because it is better result than Gorzów (street match as well as city). asked 06 Sep '20, 11:14  michal galas... |
One Answer:
The street and the address in question is not within the boundary of Śródmieście (in Katowice) see https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/search.html?q=%C5%9Ar%C3%B3dmie%C5%9Bcie%2C+ answered 08 Sep '20, 13:39  SimonPoole ♦ edited 08 Sep '20, 13:40 |
I get it, but still adress more similar for Katowice disregarding that the street does not belong to Srodmiescie boundary that searching for totally different city. Still think it is a problem with reverse geocoding or I am doing something wrong. Cause I have no influece on what the address I expect - i get it from real estate advertisement and just making sure, that geo_point is similar to text address provided.
Have you tested against Photon? It uses data form nominatim, but is more forgiving wrt errors. http://photon.komoot.de/
