Description cat22 2015-10-22 04:17:20 UTC
OpenSuse 13.1
Marble 1.6.5 stable

Search for things near Tolmie State park, like on 56th Ave NE,  Whispering Pines or Red Alder DR NE
When entering an address to find my home, the database shows the town as Beachcrest WA when it should be Olympia WA.   Beachcrest is further East and is a Subdivision name, **not** a city name
The marker goes to the correct location but the city name is incorrect. Google Maps also shows it correctly as Olympia. Took me awhile to figure out why Marble couldnt find my house.
Is there an updated database for Marble? I couldnt find one online.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter a street location like "Red Alder DR NE WA"
2. Press Enter to get the matching list
or
1. Enter a street location like "Red Alder DR NE Olympia WA"
2. Press Enter,  no results how up

Actual Results:  
The result of the search is "Red Alder DR NE, Beachcrest"


Expected Results:  
Red Alder DR NE, Olympia WA

Beachcrest is a subdivision (not a city or town) about 2.5 miles east, the correct location marker does show up but the name is wrong, it should be Red Alder DR NE Olympia WA. Same holds true for all the streets in this area
I listed this as a Major feature that is broken because correct location names seems pretty major to me and although I have only this one place to report, I'd be willing to bet this is not just an isolated error

I rechecked this in 
Marble Virtual Globe
Version 2.2.20 (2.3 development version)
and it now shows the address as Thurston County which is acceptable
closing as resolved.
