[OSM-talk] Nominatim weakness

[Simon Poole]

Sigh, this could easily be the silliest thread ever on talk.

See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim#Parameters

In general for POI search in an area I would suggest using
OverPass/OverPass Turbo (note however that this has the same issue as a
bounded Nominatim POI search in that it will only return POIs in the
area specified, which is less useful than it sounds and not what the
original poster was asking for).

See
https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/14407/nominatim-radius-search
for some more information and alternative ways of searching on the topic.
