[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Couldn't locate "..." with Directions and automatic reverse geocoding (#1874)

[Tom Hughes]

I think there's already a ticket for this but yes, reversing direction can change things because Nominatim doesn't round trip - ie doing a forward geocode followed by a reverse geocode will likely get you back different text to what you started with.

IIRC when reversing we only send the coords and then do a reverse geocode to try and get a name which means the original name is lost, but I was reluctant to add the names to the URL as well as it makes it very long.
