I installed the application. It's very impressive. That would be very nice to use, but first things first.

I'm using OpenStreetMap here. All the local streets are on the map,but they are not showing up on the search field of the navigator. I even added is_in tags to the streets and it didn't help either.

Fortunately I was able to export OpenStreetMap XML data and edit the tags myself. It seems that, if I move the city center some kilometers to the east, the missing streets are listed now. That did the trick, but sure we cannot move the centers of the cities.

Perhaps the reason to the peculiar behaviour is that the big cities are just beside each others here in the capital area of Finland. Can someone explain, what is the way Navit checks if a street is locates to a city?
