The city of Essaouira in Morocco is wrong in reverse geocoding requests. #5376

Author: capellsk This problem also afflicts the search query: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?city=Essaouira&addressdetails=1 Notice that the query returns two cities: Essaouira and Essaouira Province. The latter seems to be spurious. |

Author: capellsk The relation #2821038 being tagged as admin_level=8 is the culprit. According to this page admin_level 8 is meant for cities in Morocco: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative#admin_level |

Author: capellsk This issue has nothing to do with Nominatim. It's a mapping error. |
|
Author: capellsk I changed name:en on relation #2821038 from "Essaouira Province" to "Essaouira", which seems to be the appropriate change. |
|
Author: capellsk I resolved this as invalid since it was a simple mapping problem. |

If you do a reverse geocoding request anywhere within the city of Essaouira, Morocco, the city returned is "Essaouira Province", which is incorrect. Here is an example query:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=json&lat=31.515385367385335&lon=-9.772137753648309&addressdetails=1
That query returns the node with ID 3222892365. If we look that up using OSM we see that the city is correctly shown as "Essaouira":
