@Carnut: I get strange results when searching for Prinsengracht, too (tested in Mapsource):

Prinsengracht, Barrio Judio, Amsterdam, NLD
Prinsengracht, Ciudad de los Museos, Amsterdam, ABC

The Openfietsmap Lite shows other errors:

Prinsengracht, Jordaan, Amsterdam, NLD

Why the Jordaan? Why the Spanish names?

This has something to do with the wrong assignment of streetnames to districts, provinces and countries

Perhaps the data for Prinsengracht were entered or altered by a Spanish tourist who was unfamilar with Amsterdam 🙄

The maps contain many similar errors, e.g. a village shown to be in Belgium whereas it is in the Netherlands. Anyway, the maps are free and still very useful if users find ways to circumvent the errors.
