With OSM Nominatim to geolocate properly for streets, we need to have town
boundaries including into OSM. I was looking at this today and it seems that
those limits are not imported yet. If we could have such limits to import
(license compatible with ODbL), it would greatly enhance the geolocation.
If limits do not exist, Nominatim calculate a circle around a town place name
and attribute the streets around to this town, This way it is less precise then
with town boundary limits.

Just figured out why that certain request turns out nothing.
That town didn't exist on the map few days ago, only few main roads,
railway and town name.
But can anyone suggest a way for them to better geolocate input data.
