As for the non-Latin characters that appear, this is probably because you have multiple languages specified in your browser language preferences, and the current version of Nominatim (with the currently tagged data in OSM) is unable to work out that the English name should be used. See <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap/54559>. The hierarchy of place names is a different subject which I'll leave others to answer, suffice to say that the USA is not the only country that has problems. -- Ed Avis <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
