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.

    There are a lot of incorrect towns in Australia too. It seems to be using the name of the map region instead of the name of the suburb or town

      I agree that is most likely the reason. For me (in Germany) it always shows the wrong state for the city I live in because the map data is grouped with another bigger state.

      I think it’s rather an issue in Organic Maps and not wrong OSM data.

        Yes it’s not the geographic region name, but seems to use the map name

        For example much of western Sydney is shown as Liverpool even though that is one area
