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 you're right, i have entered a bug http://code.google.com/p/gisgraphy/issues/detail?id=11. and i have fixed it.

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.


- Thu Jul 1 at 15:23, contact@gisgraphy.com said :

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!


- Tue Jul 13 at 21:04, contact@gisgraphy.com said :

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

I need to implement from Python search coords by country, zip/city and street (may be in future with street numbers) As I see, this feature is only i development: Add an address web service Pending Parse an address as string to extract number, street, city, zip, and then geocode it. Priority 1 Is there now possible to find coordinates of address as shown in example: http://services.gisgraphy.com/public/geocoding_worldwide.html If not - how long time? can we help you (donation,...)?

- Fri Mar 4 at 11:43, steven.m.cooke@gmail.com said :

First, thank you for the great tool. One thing I noticed is that after the openstreetmaps data file is downloaded, all countries are extracted before importing. It is possible to reduce storage requirements and increase processing speed by "importing as you go." After a country is extracted, start an import thread for upto n threads. Once a file is complete, delete it. If the extractor gets too far ahead of the importers, it can be halted and another thread can be given to the importers. Regards, Steve


- contact@gisgraphy.com said :

@steven.m.cooke
Hi, thanks for your feedback. i have try to multithread the importer but the gain is not the one expected. It is quicker but not divided by the number of threads running because there is some cititical section and some processor can not be multithreaded and should be done one after the other. Regards,
david

Good day, I am currently running the importer to import US.zip. The first 8 steps of the importer process run in about 24 minutes. However, on the step 9; GeonamesFeatureImporter, the process appears to really slow down. In the Jetty console log I can see the following messages. Last night it took many hour to complete step 9. The following message is written many times in the jetty console log: WARN [btpool0-3] TokenHelper | Could not find token mapped to token name struts. token WARN [btpool0-4] TokenHelper | Could not find token mapped to token name struts. token [...] Is there something that I have not configured correctly?

Hey David, i found your site by google. Its very an impressive project :) I tried myself set up nominatim last year but it failed because the machine was undersized and the database import crashed again and agian. I tried several configurations of memory usage etc. Now i'm motivated to try again :) How many geocodings is your server able doing per minute? What are the hardware requirements in your eyes? Is a peak of 5000 reverse geocodings per minute possible? Maybe i'll not try it before June, because i've to finish my bachelor. Would you be interested in set up that an server for 5000 reverse geocodings per minute and what a salary you think about therefor? Would it be an different setting up europe or the whole world and is the data automatically updated by osm diffs? with kind regards, christian


- contact@gisgraphy.com said :

@christian e
Hi, i have done a lot of improvements in the geocoder in v 3.0 because the relevance of nominatim (force to separate words with comma was not correct to me) nor in gisgraphy v3.0. now the relevance is really good. Gisgraphy can serve as many request as you wish, it is internally designed to be scalable. Regards,

Hello.

Brilliant work !!

You have to keep it up.

Your implementation is a lifesaver for startups everywhere.

I am reverse geocoding by sending a http request to your site like this 

http://services.gisgraphy.com/street/search.xml?lat=53.3637537&lng=-0.0297994&from=1&to=1

Then i parse the value to php from the xml file.

The reason im doing this is because your javascript tutorial is not very clear.

You have an exapmle but its to complicated. 

Any help

hi 

i understand that client lib are not well documented. it is noted. i will improve this soon. if you use PHP you can use the php output (you got an example at http://www.gisgraphy.com/documentation/client-libraries.htm)

Hello,

I found an error in address geocoding (and also in fulltextsearch).

I'm looking for "Viale Aquileia" in Pordenone, Italy.
So the query is:
http://services.gisgraphy.com//geocoding/geocode?address=%27viale%20Aquileia,%20Pordenone%27&country=IT

But first result is "Viale Aquileia" in a city named "Sclavons".
There's no city named "Sclavons" in Italy. It's a quarter in a near city.
Also, second record is in city "roraipiccolo". Again there's no city Roraipiccolo in Italy. It's a quarter of Pordenone.

In facts, all these streets belongs to Pordenone.

It's possible that the algorithm identifies quarters as cities for Italian addresses?

I hope this could be useful for you.

Bye,
Manuele.


- 2012 Nov 1 at 17:56, contact@gisgraphy.com said :

hi

unfortunatly it is not a bug in gisgraphy but it is due to the data. Geonames consider sclavons as a populate place (city): http://www.geonames.org/3166896/sclavons.html and not as a section of populate place (quater). Anyway i have already found some problems like this before and have made some modification in the new version.

thanks

Nowhere does it clearly state what you do.

Can't you have some examples?

I'd like to be able to use my raw log stats to see what town people are at, who look at my site, but I'm not sure if I can do that; I don't know if the IP shows the town, or just the location of the host; I can't tell if I have batches of IPs whether I can feed them all in.

Hi,
I would hereby like to point out that it appears some of your Webservices, including the 'Geocoding' engine have been returning the error message 'Internal error : java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused' on every URL Request sent. This also includes the sample URL's you provided yourself on your web links for each Webservice (i.e.: http://services.gisgraphy.com//geocoding/geocode?address='1 avenue des champs elysees 75003 paris'&country=FR).

Looking forward to your specifications on this issue and hope you can resolve it in case you had not noticed.

On your compare site ( http://www.gisgraphy.com/compare/ ) it looks like you are discarding the country value for some of the geocoders. Searching for 'London' in 'United States Of America' returns the capital of UK for most of the geocoders. And searching for 'London' in UK returns a US location for some geocoders. Searching for 'London, USA' and 'London, UK' using the api of each geocoder gives the expected result.

I am sure this is just a simple bug in your code but it would be nice to be able to compare the geocoders too see which one is the best.


- 2013 Feb 27 at 8:29, contact@gisgraphy.com said :

Hi

it is not a bug, in fact it show that some geocoders should take a countrycode as parameter. e.g : when you search on google maps, you don't provide a countrycode, that's why I don't send the countrycode in some cases. I could append the name of the country to the searched address, but it would not be representative since it will change the user input.

Hello,
I tried some search, and it seems there is an error in the database. The ciy for France, with Zip Code 75016 seems to be Paris Passy. It is PARIS. 
If you try to geocode, 66 Avenue de versailles, Paris it doesn't work


- 2013 Mar 22 at 13:30, contact@gisgraphy.com said :

hi

for the zip code it is fix in v 4.0. it is due to geonames (http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/2063.page). i have made a work around.

for the versailles street the correct streets is return with the correct lat/long. the problem is that this street is considered in boulogne billancourt. That's because we don't use boundary yet to detect city and in this case boulogne is nearest than paris center. 

I think, i should use boundaries in v 4.0.


- 2013 Mar 29 at 14:45, jason@winget.us said :

You do not handle parsing my street name correctly because of confusion with the direction.

In my locale we use letters for roads that are in the county.  For example we have a County Rd J, County Rd M, County Rd N, County Rd Z, etc.

When you parse the County Rd N you are confused by it being a "direction" instead of a name.

converting from Google Maps Geocode in php:

Google returns 200 status when successful within the xml.

$status = $xml->Response->Status->code;

Gisgraphy returns HTTP error 500 when failure and xml when successful.

It would be great if Gisgraphy could return xml with a status code of the error, and define different error conditions back for the calling program to troubleshoot.
Something like:
700 - address not defined
701 - country not defined
702 - undefined postal value was "Europe" should be "Yes/No"
703 - Bad address parameter passed
...

Google has defined many errors: 602, 610, 620 etc. on failure.

Hi you guys.
this is a great project.
I have been trying for a week to convert from using Google maps
to gisgraphy without success.

I see your php examples, but I need some native php examples that do not use the libraries, just http and xml.

I tried simplexml_load_file($request_url) and simplexml_load_string($xml) without success.  I used these well with Google maps and no problems. 

Can you provide more/better php examples for a faster switch over?

Great work.


- 2013 Apr 12 at 9:21, contact@gisgraphy.com said :

@service@qt-q.com, I have put an ewample with a rest client since it handles return codes.
 I think a simple 'file_get_contents' can do the job, then you can parse XMl (or evaluate PHP). Maybe I do not see the complexity...

hi wouters

in fact the problem will be fixed in v 4.0, it come from a country delimitations problems. 

I used to use data preprocessed by country but the delimitations was wrong, and some city was in two countries. 

In v 4.0 i will use my own delimitations

House Number : 4520
Type of street : HWY
State : PA
Zipcodes : 15146
However, using geocoding gives multiple options, none of which seem to match the actual geocode required.Works fine in google geocode API.

Hello, I'm using Gisgraphy Version 3.0-beta2. When I run the importer, I get stuck at the Open street map file retriever due to a missing file. It would be great if you could read the list of files dynamically. Thanks!

Hi,

I noticed some problems with reverse geocoding in Helsinki, Finland. For instance 60.152955, 24.883193 should return something like Vattuniemenkatu 18 Helsinki (Melkonkatu and Vattuniemenkuja would also be acceptable) but none of the answers actually mention Helsinki. Most of the time, it mentions Hanasaari, which is an area in a city next to Helsinki. Could it be due to faulty OSM data?

Geocoding however seems to work properly.

All the best for your service,

Pierre Leonard

Thanks alot for making gisgraphy appreciate alot.
By the way. do you need a mirror host? i can you a ftp account from my IPOWER host if you need?

Once again thank you.I have no words to thank you :)

The demo at http://www.gisgraphy.com/compare/ seems to be having some problems - using the address of a building at Temple University:

1101 West Montgomery Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19122

Nominatum, Google Maps, Placefinder and Mapquest all find the same location within a fairly small margin (i.e.. long of -75.152376 vs -75.152411 or even -75.15340459999999) - but gisgraphy is off by margins of up to a couple thousand miles. 

control: 

1101 West Montgomery Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19122

interpreted variously as 

1101, West Montgomery Avenue, Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, 19122, United States of America - Nom

1101 West Montgomery Avenue, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122, USA - google maps

West Philadelphia Avenue Las Vegas [NV] - gisgraphy ???

Changing 'avenue' to 'Ave' in my entered address, it at least goes to the correct state:

entered: 1101 West Montgomery Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19122
gisgraphy:  West Philadelphia Ave Shanesville [PA]

just thought you should know

It would be helpful if your documentation specified how to configure which ports the the java servlets are to use.  I can't start gisgraphy because I get a failed socketconnector exception 0.0.0.0:8080 address already in use.  Investigating, I find postgres.exe is listening on that port.

Hi!

I tested somewhat the reverse geocoding service at services.gisgraphy.com and found that for several locations in the vicinity of a state boundary (but still within Hungary) the (first) reply contained the countryCode of the other country (AT, SK). I understand that a border-close location is contained also in the overflowing part of a neighboring country's map tile, but still this is an unlucky phenomenon. 

Another thing I might mention is that the amount of the typos (in the English language version the pages) is menacing to reach a level where they become disturbing. 

I appreciate the effort put into the project: otherwise I would not give this feedback. And by the way the "Gisgraphy results comparator" is a remarkable feature! 

Greetings!

Hi!
Your geocoder (http://services.gisgraphy.com/public/geocoding.html) seems to ignore the postal code (for addresses in Germany) even if the address parser is enabled. This results in very poor results due to too many (false) results.

It is a UK address. Merseyside is a county containing Liverpool.

I tested two addresses in your tool. The Gisgraphy results were way off. My home address geocoded to the wrong side of the planet. My office address geocoded to a point about 20 miles away. All of the other results were on point, with Google being the strongest. Yahoo even had better results! That's rough. Let me know if I can help test tools in the future or offer any other input.

Thx.

Subject: Now receiving "urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable" message

Good Morning;

I've been using your site via a python script for over a year in order to automate placement of some pins on http://bit.ly/iss4243 (and similar maps).

Last evening, though, the script stopped working with the above error. I checked stackoverflow, which suggested that your service might no longer allow access via scripts.

If this is the case, is there any chance you could reverse this situation? (It's been very convenient to include gisgraphy in the process; and a good example to show my students.)

All the best - Dave

Hi David,

I have looked at the pertinent parts of the documentation and tried a few things using the 'test' pages (so to speak) but am still confused about one thing.

Can gisgrahy do this: given a latitude/longitude - can it find the nearest CROSS street to that location?   Please note for my use the given lat/long will always be a location on some street - not a building location etc.

I tried selecting CROSSING - and it didn't find anything but I was just 'guessing' at that option.

Thanks

Complete lack of success on multiple searches using online geocoding web service. I tried the address at work (95 Brown Rd, Ithaca NY 14850), my home address, a New York State office building for an agency I work with (625 Broadway, Albany NY 12233), the main administrative building at Cornell University (144 East Ave, Ithaca NY 14853). All with and with-out zip codes, with and without the "Postal Address" checkbox selected.

Most attempts just returned an unspecified "Error!". Rarely, some combination returned a list of 30 to 40 items that did not match the address -- different streets (generally not even near the target by multiple miles). One combination for my home address at least hit the correct street, but missed the location by about 6 miles.

On the rare occasions when there were any items returned, metadata was peculiar. Some locations (though not the place I was looking for) were correctly identified as "Tompkins County" but that datum was returned in the "State" field, which it isn't.

A pity. Project looked promising until I tried to use it. I do not expect the downloadable version to work any better...
