All searches in my town (Gatineau) list it as Ottawa but should be Gatineau.

Gatineau - Quebec - Canada Is not Ottawa - Ontario - Canada

It’s very annoying and error inducing.

      Outaouais and Ottawa don’t overlap in the data, so OSM data is correct.
      They do show up here because Nomatim is wrong, I’m sure Nomatim devs do their best but it’s often wrong, adding nearby locations.

      I think here it sees this nearby node as near enough to be probably the correct city instead of looking at the boundary relation.

        I have no idea who/what is nomatim or why OSM shows places with the wrong name I just see that and loose interest due to bad naming and my inability to fix it.

          Maybe the data of the specific shops is incomplete? Check if these shops have the city name in their data on openstreetmap.org. If not, add the addr:city tag.

          If they do, check if organic maps has a bug about it yet, file one if not. (this is organic maps right?)
