There's an area in Kuala Lumpur that is called "Off Jalan Bangsar" in Google Maps (Jalan meaning street in Malay). It's obvious that Google's machine learning algorithm took what is name of the nearest major street for a district name.

That seems reasonable to me. If locals had to refer to that general area and not an exact address might they use the phrase "Off Jalan Bandsar"? If so I think that is its correct name.
