Another exciting series of #geocoding updates is now available for our users.

First we'll highlight our improved handling for delimiters of building numbers around the world in our Forward/Search endpoint

Some exciting Indian addressing news - recently India Post has announced the launch of DIGIPIN - 10-digit alphanumeric codes (12 characters when the two dashes are included) corresponding to 4mx4m squares.

We have added DIGIPIN as a new annotation in our geocoding results and also support searching for DIGIPINs

Falls ein Wesen hier mal einen #Photon Server bzw. nen #API Endpunkt braucht - ich betreibe einen bei mir.
Einfach fragen, bekommt ihr dann.

Mit weltweiten Kartendaten.
Also das ganz dicke Ding.

Klar, kann jeder selber hosten, aber nicht jeder will halt 400GB Daten auf SSD dafür opfern.

Ich brauch den für meinen #Dawarich Server.

Issue 123/124 of Blaise Pascal Magazine released: #Geocoding with #Pascal, a die-cast simulator for teaching statistics in #Object_Pascal, QUEENS puzzle in Pascal, threading #Free_Pascal code via #WebAssembly in the browser, RTTI in #PAS2JS etc.

Oh, the tragedy of turning numbers into an address! Our hero wrestles with #geocoding like it's quantum physics, despite the existence of multiple ready-made solutions. Apparently, even the world's simplest #APIs can't save us from the #drama of #mapping #benches.

Geocoding is ridiculously hard to code.

For example 'Paris' should list the streetname in your area, but also the city in france.

With current settings, it's either world-wide OR local.

We have an idea to fix this:

When searching, use the 'proximity' function and list local places, BUT leave the first result open for world-wide locations.

It's just a brainfart, but we might get this done to hugely improve our search-function.

Just to be sure, now that Komoot has been sold …

Because yeah, while most of you are afraid of losing the routes available on the platform, I'm afraid of losing a great geolocator (and also the one we're using for business).

I'm looking for a new team member for the #Search and #Geocoding team at @maptiler.bsky.social

Looking for someone who will join our team and will continue in the development of both sides of the Geocoding chain: Data indexing and Search Server. The programming languages we use in our stack are JavaScript, a bit of Java and a bit of Rust.

You can find more details in https://www.maptiler.com/jobs/

Esteemed #Fediverse

would be very happy to get some feedback about the use of `Place` in ActivityPub apart from the SocialCG discussion.

A little geocoding SDK news, we've released a new Ruby batch processing script to make it easier to make parallel API requests:

If you hate Ruby don't panic, we also have SDKs for 30+ other languages and frameworks: https://opencagedata.com/sdks

Ein 3,6 Mrd Zeilen Dump mit Koordinaten und Gerätekennung. Daraus Bewegungsprofile rekonstruieren und diejenigen zu finden, die sich in sicherheitsrelevanten Arealen aufgehalten haben, waren mein Job bei der Recherche. Wie gut, dass es die @openstreetmap gibt
