Streets in suburbs can't be found

[nailix1]

Streets in suburbs of big citys can't be found. The name of the suburb is necessary but seldom known.

I previousliy used WeTravel?. This provided the function "search more", which searched the streetname in the next - puh, don't know - perhaps 15 "locations" around.

This was a very useful feature.

This currently can be done with the POI search filter. So you can look for objects by their name within given distance from the given point.

Though generic search should be improved in above way.

Great tip. Thank you very much.

Could you provide an example of a street that cannot be found (or better, several examples)? Please also state where you got the map from. Without that, we can't investigate the problem.

For example: Barlachstraße in Nürnberg (Germany) (  http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.37348&lon=11.08059&zoom=16&layers=M )

This street is located in an suburb of Nürnberg called "Herpersdorf".

But Herpersdorf belongs to Nürnberg and officially the adresse is called Barlachstraße in Nürnberg.

Map comes frome the Planet Extractor ( http://maps9.navit-project.org/)

Thanks for the test case. I cannot look into it right now, but I'll try to get to it. Can't promise anything though...
