Reverse geocoding is buggy

[nicolaspernoud]

Reverse geocoding on http://photon.komoot.de/reverse?lon=4.862153536922563&lat=45.77042383487134

Gives :

{
    "features": [
        {
            "geometry": {
                "coordinates": [
                    4.8561538,
                    45.770519
                ],
                "type": "Point"
            },
            "type": "Feature",
            "properties": {
                "osm_id": 2814036943,
                "osm_type": "N",
                "country": "France",
                "osm_key": "amenity",
                "city": "Lyon",
                "street": "Rue Tronchet",
                "osm_value": "dentist",
                "postcode": "69006",
                "name": "Centre médico-dentaire",
                "state": "Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes"
            }
        }
    ],
    "type": "FeatureCollection"
}

This is incorrect, the street is not even close !

The correct result is achieved with nominatim : https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=jsonv2&lat=45.77042383487134&lon=4.862153536922563

In new version of photon distance_sort is set to false by default. If you try http://photon.komoot.de/reverse?lon=4.862153536922563&lat=45.77042383487134&distance_sort=true you will get the correct result. I have reported this issue as well and hope there will be a way to change distance_sort default parameter for reverse search. --> #328

Thanks ! I'll give it a try.
