Can't see smaller areas (localities) osm_type: way #12

Closed zack6849 closed 4 years ago

Hi There!

I tried to search for a smaller town in my area, "Valrico, Florida" and it shows results, and is a city, but won't work.

I thought ok, maybe it's too small, i'll go for brandon florida, which also doesn't work.

These are both "localities", is that something you'd consider implementing, if it's even possible?

I'm displaying only relationship osm_types in the dropdown. relationship type defines accurate boundaries of a region, so I went with it in the initial implementation.

However this causes problems, like you've described here and like others noted in https://github.com/anvaka/city-roads/issues/7.

I'm playing with proposal from @leighghunt to fallback to bounding box. For the Valrico, Florida it would render this:

Would this map make more sense in your use case?
