We use the Mapbox 'Outside' OpenStreetMap layer as our basemap for the
Arches site we are developing for Jersey Heritage. I've been asked why the
search field in the top right hand corner of the map ('Locate a Place or
Address') doesn't include place names on Jersey, apart from names of most
of the twelve parishes on the island. Even Jersey postcodes cannot be
found, although UK ones work — for those who don't know, Jersey is not part
of the United Kingdom.
I'm guessing that the search box is linked to a gazetteer database
connected with the OSM basemap. Is it possible to supplement the search
with local place names, if we could obtain a list of them with their
corresponding co-ordinates? In theory, we could even replace the gazetteer,
as we would only be interested in searches for place names within the
island's jurisdiction.
Thanks
David
