Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] GPS Tracks

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi Jonathan,

If it's lots you may want to reach out to either telenav (Martijn van Exel)
or Mapbox. They both have processed big GPS datasets in the past.

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Incorrect 'suburb' in 'reverse nominatim' search

[Iain Simpson]

I'm creating a database of all my geotagged photos and using a 'reverse 
nominatim' search to describe the location (using Mapquest).


Some of the descriptions are peculiar in that they return a 'suburb' 
which is inaccurate.


Example

lat="52.8186007" lon="-2.1179502"
returns :

Marston Road
Salcombe Avenue
Stafford
Staffordshire
West Midlands
England
ST16 3BT
United Kingdom
gb

'Salcombe Avenue' is a minor residential street 2km to the SE.
(52.795,-2.0818)

Much of east Stafford is designated as part of this 'suburb'

On investigation the only 'suburb' ref is for way 8095766 changeset 
35344 created in 2007 and never changed.




Questions
1. Is there any recognised use of 'suburb' in the UK (or West Midlands) 
for smaller towns ?


2. Why is this appearing in the description for places well away from 
the location ?


3. I assume that it is OK just to delete the 'place=suburb' tag (I 
haven't done any OSM editing for some time & I'm a bit out of touch) ?


(I'm now going to try and find out how the Reverse Nominatim actually 
works.)
