The Namefinder which is used by YOURS to convert names to coordinates is the Gazetteer service of OpenStreetMap: <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Name_finder>. In this case Namefinder returned an empty document when searching for "Philadelphia, PA", probably as an result of an error within that service. This empty document was not properly handled within YOURS but that's fixed now. Searching for just "Philadelphia" returns successfully. _______________________________________________ Routing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/routing
