Just to clarify ... the admin_levels for Ireland described here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ireland/Boundaries#Boundary_Types don't seem to mention things like village boundaries - there's a big gap between admin_level=8 and admin_level=10.
That's ok. OSM must deal with local specialities because they just exist. And I think that's a chance for the new locator to become more flexible.
In situations like this, maybe the locator could be more flexible and use other kinds of boundaries too.
In principle that's quite easy to do if these other boundaries are closed polygons or complete multipolygons.
Sorry for resurrecting this old thread. Many rural villages, hamlets (and even some small towns) are not administrative areas or have their own town council etc so administrative boundaries are not the best choice here to be able to assign addresses correctly. To make locator more flexible for assiging addresses, could it also be extended to also support the place tag? eg mkgmap:place:village mkgmap:place:hamlet mkgmap:place:locality mkgmap:place:suburb etc Thanks -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Suggestion-for-more-flexibility-in-locator-pa...
