Unpredictable (and missing) locations
This was originally a comment on the now closed Automatic Location picks up airport miles away? (#178 - closed)
First of all, I'm in the central part of Southern Norway, in an area with a lot of winter tourism. All of the locations around me, including the farm where I live is in Yr's own location database. That database has all names down to farm level, and sometimes even smaller places if they are in use on maps.
It seems like the closest population center that I can select inside the app is about ~50 km away (Fagernes), and the next one is about ~70 km away (Gjøvik). Well-known winter locations like Gol and Geilo does not create any hits. In my local area I've found Leirskogen kyrkje (Leirskogen church), but no other church. Sometimes places pops up in the list a long time after I've searched for them. I'm not sure, but it seems like this happen after the app is restarted. It is quite weird.
Another population center Aurdal a few kilometers from Fagernes is not found.
I also tried two very similar places in Northern Norway, Vadsø and Vardø. The app find Vadsø, but not Vardø. Both places have city status, both places have airports, and they are neighboring municipalities.
It also seems like the locations are jumbled together, sometimes with very high granularity, I can even find individual car sales in the city of Gjøvik, and sometimes (often) names without any clarification. Testing a search for Gjøvik right now, I can't find anything. Gjøvik is a city with a population of about 30 000 people.
