Having a problem with OSMAND that I think could be related back to the way
data has been entered, or later defined, in OSM?

Playing with OSMAND yesterday & searched for a local street but it came
back "not found". Tried a number of others with some found & others not.
Then tried changing the search town from "Gold Coast" to individual suburbs
& all the "missing" streets in that suburb were then found OK?

If you'd like to please try yourself, in OSMAND, please set your city /
town to Gold Coast, then search Dawn Parade, Honeyeater Drive & Rio Vista
Boulevard. There should be nothing found for the first two, but Rio Vista
should appear but with only two results - intersections with Furlong Street
& Cleland Crescent.

If you then set the city / town to Miami, Dawn Parade will show; Burleigh
Waters will find Honeyeater Drv & Broadbeach Waters will show all of the
Rio Vista Blvd results (~50 of them!)

BTW, they can all be found fine in OSM itself eg Dawn Parade Miami gives
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/182163166#map=17/-28.06847/153.43806

I think there may be two things at play here?

Only a few Gold Coast suburbs, including these ones, have had their admin
boundaries mapped (incidentally, as an aside, they've been mapped as
admin_level=10 - should they be =9?) eg
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/973018.

In addition, the overall Gold Coast LGA boundary hasn't been mapped.

Does that sound feasible?

If so, what's the fix? It would appear that mapping an admin boundary has
convinced OSMAND that that area isn't part of the Gold Coast any more?
Would mapping the Gold Coast LGA as admin_level=8 resolve it?

Or is this just another OSMAND problem? :-(

Thanks

Graeme
