Nominatim search and GeoCoding problem

General talk
1

Hi All,
I installed Tile and Nominatim on ubuntu 12.04. I uploaded the US map file to gis db and uploaded TIGER EDGES to the Nominatim db.

  1. The server is working fine, I can see maps and I can search only postal codes. what I’m missing here?

  2. when running reverse geocode to nominatim.openstreetmap.org:
    http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=json&accept-language=en-us&lat=40.74624093931803&lon=-73.98391306400299&zoom=18&addressdetails=1

    I get back a full information:
    {“place_id”:“9167651922”,“licence”:“Data \u00a9 OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright”,“osm_type”:“way”,“osm_id”:“265261781”,“lat”:“40.74613765”,“lon”:“-73.983771”,“display_name”:“145, Madison Avenue, Rose Hill, Upper East Side, Downtown Brooklyn, New York, New York City, New York, 10016, United States of America”,“address”:{“house_number”:“145”,“road”:“Madison Avenue”,“neighbourhood”:“Rose Hill”,“suburb”:“Upper East Side”,“city”:“New York City”,“county”:“New York”,“state”:“New York”,“postcode”:“10016”,“country”:“United States of America”,“country_code”:“us”}}

    but when send the same request to my nominatim server I get back less information:
    {“place_id”:“497045”,“licence”:“Data \u00a9 OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright”,“lat”:“40.7455334764258”,“lon”:“-73.9782466758858”,“display_name”:“10016, United States of America”,“address”:{“postcode”:“10016”,“country”:“United States of America”,“country_code”:“us”}}

Thanks,
Ryan
