What is Osmand ? In Basecamp or using garmin gps (e-trex), Maillen can NOT be found, even without street.
You will find Assesse and you have to know that Maillen belongs to Assesse. “Strépy-Braquegnies is not a boundary but a Residential Area (a landuse). You can't use one in an OSM search. » Strépy-Braquegnies is a city that has its own postal code (7110) and is totally different from La Louvière having another postal code (7100) What if there is another street with the same name exists in 7100 La Louvière? Nothing prevents it. If you are walking or cycling, there is 8 Km between Strépy-Braquegnies and La Louvière. That’s a lot. If your map can’t figure out this, paper maps might be better!

With Osmand, I find Maillen e.g. Place du Bâti and OSM finds "Place du Bâti Maillen" but that's near Maillen which is a village, that result is in Assesse which is a city. OSM also finds "Place du Bâti Assesse", of course. Osmand also finds Assesse if you tap "villages" (OSM calls it a city, not even a town, ahem). Kortessem and Wellen are in Osmand all-right, but, again, you have to tap on "villages" when the list gets short. We found other ones (event bigger). e.g. try to find Rue Jean-Baptiste Monoyer in 7110 Strépy-Braquegnies. You will not find it. To locate it you have to search on … Rue JB Monoyer, in 7100 La Louvière. In order to find "Rue Jean-Baptiste Monoyer" it should be called "Rue Jean-Baptiste Monoyer" and not "Rue JB Monoyer". I have corrected that bug. Strépy-Braquegnies is not a boundary but a Residential Area (a landuse). You can't use one in an OSM search. You could if it were a (non-administrative) boundary, and even not, found in a subarea and Nominatim supported that, but that's another discussion. There is no need to include "Jean-Baptiste" in the query. Your street is located (nested) in Pont Balasse, La Louvière, Soignies, Hainaut, Wallonia, 7100;7110, Belgium So, any of these queries returns your answer: "Monoyer Pont Balasse", "Monoyer La Louvière", "Monoyer Soignies", "Monoyer Hainaut", "Monoyer Wallonia", "Monoyer Belgium" or "Monoyer". I'm not sure what the post code is or can be used for unless you are a letter. Except for JB, I don't find a bug, less "other ones", less "event bigger". André. I thought it was due to postal code, but sometimes streets are associated to wrong postal code!

The problem with the missing municipalities also exists in OSMAND where some as Kortessem and Wellen are not listed although they are in OSM. A solution for tagging boundaries can be checking for natural boundaries = rivers, in different sources first. In Flanders those rivers as natural boundaries are mostly good visible on the AGIV air imagery. But what about a similar usable tool for Wallonie. I didn't hear more about how to use a similar source as AGIV for Wallonie in JOSM (?).

I dont know if this is the case in Maillen. If there exists such a section of level 9, it must be entered in OSM. If there is no section, streets could be tagged with <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:is_in> is_in If those sections are not specified, the map cannot find a street in Maillen so you must either enter Assesse or try another OSM map (no guarantee it work either) or a commercial map." So in order to make OFM work, we need the boundaries for Mallien as a relation. We do not have them in OSM at this moment. Those borders are hard to get. I don't know the situation for this in Wallonia. In Flanders we have a lot of admin-level 9 boundaries (deelgemeenten), but even there the list is not complete. Maybe Julien Fastré or André know more about this. In general, we have to base ourselves on out-of-date maps for the borders. We are not allowed to copy them from Google or other institutions that ask a lot of money for that data. Sometimes governments open up a datasource with those boundaries. This is not the case in Belgium. Furthermore most recent databases from the government do not care about those "deelgemeenten", which makes it even harder to get access to a source to use. regards m On Tue, Dec 23, 2014 at 6:01 PM, Alain Bourgeois <alain.bourge...@skynet.be <mailto:alain.bourge...@skynet.be> > wrote: I tried the Benelux map downloaded 6 months ago – same problem.
