No, I'm happy for people to point out problems with it. Otherwise it'll never improve :) > You return nothing for "B1 1BB" (Birmingham Council House), which is > tagged "addr:postcode=B1 1BB" This is most likely a bug in my parser. I'll have to take a look at it this evening and see why it's being ignored. Thanks for the report. This is exactly what I need to find bugs. > For a common address, such as "2 High Street", you return multiple > results, with no obvious distinguishing feature.

Adding the addr:city tag to the search results would be a good start but without a full reverse geocoder (or full PostGIS database) there's only so much I can do. I didn't want to bombard Nominatim all the time for these results. > I'll be happy to log these in a bug tracker, if you have one. I don't currently so just send them to this list or to me directly. Maybe I'll get up a project on the OSM Trac. -- Matt Williams http://milliams.com _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
