Wrong postal code in Italy #447

Closed CloudPower97 closed 5 years ago

CloudPower97 commented 6 years ago

Hi, It seems I've found a bug regarding the suggested postal code in Italy. The current behavior is not completely wrong, in fact it recognize the correct postal code for the city but not for the various district.

For example:

Via Napoleone III, Roma, RM should be 00185 but the suggested one is 00187
Via Nazionale, Napoli, NA should be 80143 but the suggested one is 80133
Via Ricasoli, Firenze, FI should be 50122 but the suggested one is 50123

It seems that's a common problem, and it seems that you are currently rewriting postcodes processing pipeline. Anyway, I think it's worth reporting, so you can check that everything is ok once the bug is fixed.

Hi @CloudPower97

Indeed this is useful to note while working on the postcodes rewrite to make sure it's working well.

Part of the issue in these cases are data coming from OSM: https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Via%20Ricasoli%2C%20Firenze%2C%20FI%20#map=18/43.77542/11.25749

For the Firenze example, OSM postcode is 50123 and we use that value.

Do you have a data source that states the postcode is indeed 50122?

Thanks for contributing!

Sure, @raphi, you can check it on Google Maps. Here is the Firenze example.

You are welcome!

Well, for Lithuania some post codes are wrong too. But as i understand it's OSM's data.
