OpenStreetMaps auto fill selects county field for the city and saves it as city

Thank you Naveen for looking into it!

Hi @kiranprajapati,

and thank you Kiran for your great help! The city field is saving now the right data.

1. You have some php tags in the snippet, is this OK? I have no error in the backend, it is just unusual.

2. How can I change the address format of the address field, not the city field. Now I have 5 Street – but the German is Street 5, so first is the street and then the street number.

Thank you so much for your help!
Marius

Hi @kiranprajapati,
and thank you for your help! I’ll try to be more clear about the problem with the German address format for OSM.

1. Address format for Germany

Yes, the response is O.K., it is like it should be.

      "postcode": "77731",
      "country": "Deutschland",
      "country_code": "de"
    }
  }
]

Just that the house number starts the string in the field display_name. But in Germany the house number is after the street name, so how can you change this?

This is how it should be, after choosing the autocomplete address string:

address.road address.house_number, address.village

like in the Nominatin docs: de street_name {street} {house_number} (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Country_Address_Format)

2. Search restriction and optimization

Please take a look at the Nominatin API and params: https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/api/Search/

In order to restrict and optimize the search and the country address format (feature request: could be super cool to have these options in the back-end)

As my project is restricted to one German state how should I use these params for the search query?:

accept-language='de'
countrycodes='de'
viewbox=7.5,47.6,10.5,49.8
bounded=1

Please help me, this will be great for different countries, since different countries have different address formats.

Greetings, Marius
