[NUUG fiksgatami] (fwd) [OpenStreetMap] #3723: How can I tell Nominatim to always report nearest road?

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Jeg har spurt utviklerne av søketjenesten FiksGataMi bruker for å
finne nærmeste vei om hvordan vi kan gjøre søket mer robust.

Her er trac-rapporten jeg nettopp registrerte.

 I use Nominatim with www.fiksgatami.no to report information about the
 nearest road to the councils receiving reports from the site (this is the
 norwegian www.fixmystreet.com).

 This works reasonably well when a location lookup in nominatim report
 information about a nearby road, but for some locations no road
 information is returned.

 A search that only return a node is this:
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml&zoom=16&lat=59.90608&lon=10.52355

 A search that return a road is this:
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml&zoom=16&lat=59.430144&lon=5.260994

 I would like to always get information about the nearest road, also for
 the first search.
