I needed a reverse geocoder as a standalone solution, because I want to reverse geocode a huge volume of coordinates, as a one-time task. I still don't know for sure if Gisgraphy is the thing that will do, but so far I can say I'm impressed by this product (especially since it is developed by just one developer). Anyway I will recommend Gisgraphy as an alternate geocoding engine to my colleagues who might also need it.

Hi! I'm using the "find nearby" feature to get the closest city to certain coordinates. Example: http://localhost:8080/geoloc/findnearbylocation?lat=51.8365537&lng=7.0562314&format=json&placetype=city This point is close to a palce in Germany called "Groß Reken". Groß Reken can be found when searching for it on the geonames website, but the "find nearby" webservice returns '{"QTime":20,"numFound":0,"result":[]}'. The thing is I'm trying to get the nearest city for a collection of about 200,000 coordinates, calling the local webservice in a loop. There are many points for which I get no results even if they are close to some cities. I guess I'll deal separately with those "no results" points, but I thought I'd just let you know about it. I'm using gisgraphy-2.0-beta, one of the latest snapshots (from a couple weeks ago). Thank you!

Hi, Just wanted to point out you have a number of typos on your front page. ". Its . " for instance. "appreciate" should be "appreciateD" etc. There are more. I guess you folks aren't native English speakers, which is fine, but I'd suggest you get someone with that level of English to proof-read your stuff. It'll make it look more professional plus be a little easier to read. I look forward to playing with this in the future. :-) Thanks.

hi for typo, i know, that i have to do a lot of improvements, english is not my mother tongue, and i try to do some efforts (really). i know it will be more professional but for the moment the only thing i can do is try to be professional for the code :). i prefer to do it in english and be half understood rather than do it in french without mistake and restrict the scope of people than can use gisgraphy Any help will be appreciated David

Hello Gisgraphy Team specially David, today i tested gisgraphy but i used the wrong ip address. Instead of my own gisgraphy service i used services.gisgraphy.com (Remote IP: 90.146.204.59) and if you need help or manpower developing gisgraphy feel free to write me. regards - Oskar

Thanks for Gisgraphy 2.0-beta that I'm trying out. Installs and starts OK. I've attempted an import via the web interface which started ok and began downloading geonames data. I had a network outage that then reported a socket error and aborted the import (see error below). I've then attempted to reset the import after confirming the reset via the button it just redirects to http://localhost:8080/admin/resetimport!confirm? ... that reports "Page not found". Repeating the import reports the same socket error even after even rebooting and restarting services. Specifically on this page .... http://localhost:8080/admin/import.html ... it reports beside for the GeonamesFileRetriever: 50% : 1 / 2 (1 left(s)) "Error : error retrieving or decompres file : java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed" . What can I do to reset GisGraphy with minimal effort? I've not imported any data so I don't mind dropping the database if needed. I'm a software engineer of 30 yrs with experience in most commonly used languages including Java/Hibernate etc. Not that experienced in Postgres but used many other SQL dialects including MySQL/phpMyAdmin tools. Thanks for GisGraphy and Geonames. Your contribution to open source and open data is seriously appreciated! Tony.

Hi tony, the beta has a lot of problems that has been fixed in the final version (that will be out in july 2010).for the socket error, it is the first time i heard the problem, i must invetigate, i know that on ubuntu you sometimes, have to install a package : (see http://www.gisgraphy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=64) ? what is your OS, jvm version, have you got a firewell, is the file partially downloaded, or is it an extraction problem, can you extracte it by hand ? i suggest that you use a snapshot availables on the download server or wait two weeks for the final version (with many many fix, the reset has been re-develop form scratch, and son on). If you want, you can use sql dump and solr dump on the download server (download.gisgraphy.com) they are ok for gisgraphy beta not for gisgraphy snapshots. Hope it helps. if you still have problems, let a post on the forum, i will help you.

Hi, thank you for this great software! I noticed United States postal codes are not available in the full-text search. The geonames site says they provide postal codes but in separate files. So my question is: Do you have any plans on integrating, importing, etc. postal code data with the rest of the database & text index? Thanks!

Hi damian@nospam.com :), the zipcodes has been re develop from scratch in V2.0 and now a city can have more than one zipcode so i plan to do an importer in V 3.0
