Hi,
I have a local Nominatim instance with a US/Pennsylvania extract loaded.
When a make reverse geocode requests, I never get a state back unless
the coordinates are close to the centroid of the state.
I am aware that the openstreetmap version of Nominatim always returns
valid results for my test coordinates, so what am I doing wrong?
for example...
http://myserver/nominatim/reverse.php?format=xml&lat=40.658773&lon=-75.295520
returns
<reversegeocodetimestamp="Fri, 09 Jan 15 11:40:46
-0500"attribution="Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright"querystring="format=xml&lat=40.658773&lon=-75.295520";>
<resultplace_id="637091"osm_type="way"osm_id="19996066"ref="Baglyos
Circle"lat="40.6608768"lon="-75.2980609">
Baglyos Circle, Farmersville, Northampton, 18020, United States of America
</result>

<county>Northampton</county>
<postcode>18020</postcode>
<country>United States of America</country>
<country_code>us</country_code>
</addressparts>
</reversegeocode>
while
http://myserver/nominatim/reverse.php?format=xml&lat=40.736505&lon=-77.884580
returns
