Missing city name

[jonashaag]

Not sure if this is the right place to file this issue, it seems more like an issue with the REST API/places-dsn, whose source code I haven't found anywhere.

When I search for a street in my city (Karlsruhe, Germany), the result doesn't include the city name. Instead it shows the federal state (which is very uncommon to show in Germany btw), which isn't helpful at all, because streets are not unique within states ;)

(GPS coordinates are correct btw)

Thank you for the bug report @jonashaag; we'll look at it. It looks like the same situation than #227

[redox]

hey @jonashaag; I look again at the data OSM is providing and our next results will fit what their search is also retrieving: http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=kriegstrasse%20Karlsruhe

The city is Pforzheim, part of Regierungsbezirk Karlsruhe. Does that make sense or is there an issue with the OSM data?

[jonashaag]

You're missing the second s in your query, it's Kriegsstrasse and OSM correctly shows Karlsruhe as city

Arg good catch; I'll export the Karlsruhe region from OSM and dig deeper to understand why those streets are not selected by our importer.

Alright, so for an unknown reason; the OSM export doesn't provide the city (with isaddress="t") for that street:

I'll interpolate it from the suburb 👍

[jonashaag]

Maybe because the street goes through multiple sub cities (west south east etc) that each have their own name

Fixed ✅
