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.

Is OrganicMaps using Nominatim? It seems that Nominatim's reverse geocoding returns the correct results there: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=N&osmid=1134851553&class=place

Oh, damn, I didn't notice this was OM. I wrongly assumed this was the main website.
