The street name "Berchtesgardener Strasse exists in the same area but there are multiple well tagged streets which are closer and which have a different name.

This seems to be a reverse geocoding but.

Thanks Markus for your feedback! :)
I don't know where you get that report. Please, could you tell me the steps? :)
Thanks in advance!

I tried 2 different sources with the same result:

1) our own NOMINATIM server:
http://nominatim.enaikoon.de/reverse?format=xml&lat=52.497648&lon=13.348039&zoom=18&addressdetails=1

2) the MAPQUEST service:
http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/reverse?format=xml&lat=52.497648&lon=13.348039&zoom=18&addressdetails=1

Due to your feedback I also tried the OSM-version:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml&lat=52.497648&lon=13.348039&zoom=18&addressdetails=1
This provided the correct result.

Does that mean that 1) and 2) are not running the latest version of NOMINATIM?

Hi Markus :)
I think you're referring to something earlier, but I do not know what it is.
openMarkers isn't using a reverse geocoding, it is just using the search nominating:

Please, could you put me in context? :)
Thanks in advance!

Sorry Costales,
I do not get your point.

My issue is very simple:

I requested a reverse geocoding from 2 different NOMINATIM sources and got the same but wrong result.
Later I tested the OSM Nominatim reverse geocoding with the same data and it worked fine.

I do NOT refer to anything earlier.

I think it is the best to close this ticket.
It seems not to be the correct place here for it.

Thx for your help anyway
Markus
