Missing City Alicante/Alacant in Spain Maps

[Ulises Rolon Davila]

Hi,

I just download OSMand, download the Spain Map, but I am unable to find in the "city" list my current city Alicante/Alacant, I'm able to find a lot of near towns, and searching by postal code shows the near streets, but it is impossible to find Alicante/Alacant city.

I have try to search Alicante and without problems.

Acabo de probar a buscar Alicante y ningún problema.

Osmand+ with maps from 02/May/2014

I'am updating the map now.

As I can see, the tag place=* is missing in the data for Alicante/Alacant.
So it is a problem of the date and not of osmand.

If a spanish mapper reads this, please check that !

@Peter: I don't agree. Alicante has an admin boundary (polygon) and should be covered by OsmAnd. OsmAnd first checks the admin boundary and then the node for the city if there is no admin boundary.
As it is tagged as city it should be in the normal indexed list of cities otherwise I would say search in the "Search village/postcode" list.

I'm on holiday with very "thin" bandwidth and can't download and control the map of Spain.

But in theory it should be there.

With maps from 02/May/2014, I can find Alicante.

With the last update of the map, I can't find Alicante or Alacant.

I don't have time to check OSM data changes, but maybe someone have change data or there is an error with the last map generation of OsmAnd.

I'm a spanish user.

@Peter: I don't agree. Alicante has an admin boundary (polygon) and should be covered by OsmAnd. OsmAnd first checks the admin boundary and then the node for the city if there is no admin boundary.

At least last year OsmAnd needed a place node, a boundary alone was not sufficient.
But I don't know, if this has been changed.

Do you mean this node?
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/21323935

Not only the place tag has been removed, also the name tag has been removed.

Hello Ulises,

I assume you are talking about this area?

http://openmapsurfer.uni-hd.de/?zoom=12&lat=38.38575&lon=-0.5111&layers=0B0000FTFF

Maybe there is missing something in the original OSM data. I will have a look whether we have correct boundaries and a correct place node point.

So I investigated a bit more via overtass-turbo.eu and its wizard modus there:

Indeed there is no single node with place=* and name=Alacant in that area.

So local mappers in Spain (or other mappers globally) should add a single node there with the same name like the boundary relation that describes the area of city Alicante.

Hi Stephan thank you for your help, there is a way I do that? I am map editor in Waze comunity, maybe is not so dificult to modify/update the map?

[real...@gmail.com]

It just seems incredible that such an important city is missing.
Search city "Alicante" and no result. What a pos!

MapFactor also uses OsmAnd maps - and it works!
You type in search "Alicante" and it brings up Alacante/Alicante - Provincia de Alicante. Click on it and you're in the town of Alicante with street search.

The map download from OsmAnd is a whoopy excessive, ridiculous 800MB.
The map download from MapFactor/Navigator only 200MB.

Can s.o. tell me why?
Can s.o. tell me how to share maps across different apps to avoid datatraffic with multiple downloads?

ps parece mentira ni encontrar la ciudad de Alicante....

Thank you.

I think tha Max already gave the answer:

Do you mean this node?
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/21323935

Not only the place tag has been removed, also the name tag has been removed.

Max

So I guess the best solution is to add  the place and name to this node. This should  fix it.

Cheers

I fixed it today, see the entry at help.osm.org with identical issue.

Now we need to wait for new Osmand maps where today's edits are included, or someone can produce an own offline map for that area of spain via osmand-mapcreator.
