Maputo: Reverse seach not showing city #5172

Author: lonvia Your choice of admin_level does not follow the usual conventions. I'd suggest to use them as follows:
Not sure about the Quarteiro. You might actually want to tag the boundary with place=neighbourhood instead of boundary=administrative if they are non-formal. Ask on the [https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging tagging list] for advice if you are unsure. Also, have a look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Admin_level for a listing how admin_levels are used in other countries. It would be great if you could spend a minute and add Mozambique in the list, once you have fixed the admin levels. Closing as 'invalid' because it's actually a tagging problem. |

Author: jeanbarroca Thank you very much for your help! It was in fact not a defect, but you help was much appreciated. We already included Mozambique in the list. |

Hi,
We're doing a participatory project in Maputo and already tried everything to have the City tag showing in the Nominatim API on reverse search:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml&lat=-25.8612&lon=32.6227&zoom=18&addressdetails=1
Could you please guide us on how to solve this or help us solving the problem?
Administrative Levels in Mozambique should be something like:
State (Provincia)
Municipality (which is Municipio and in most cases this is equal to City)
District (Distrito)
Suburb / Neighbourhood (Bairro is actually the direct translation of neighbourhood and the term used here)
Quarteiro (which is a non-formal boundary that is recognised by Municipalities as a way of dividing neighbourhoods - this is important due to the lack of street names and numbers)
Thank you very much!
Kind regards,
Jean
