Title: Reverse Geocoding - results look different
Post by: nacho02 on April 20, 2025, 02:29:43 PM

Hello,

for the last couple of moths I've had different looking results when reverse geocoding my files.

Whereas in the past I would get Country, State, City and Location without any postcodes, postcodes are now visible and what is worse, I am seeing a lot of instances where the city if not actually being displayed, but rather a street name, or company name. See example attached.

This was visible with IMATCH 2023 and IMATCH 2025.

AFAIK I can mask the fields as to remove the postcode, but I'm not getting the city :-(

Anyone else has seen this?

Thanks
Ignacio

Your screen shot shows no city names at all. Looks more like an advertisement...?

When I enter your coordinates, I get the same data, no city, just an ad for this company?
When move the file maker a few meters away, I get

Did you try that?

Yes, I also had this in the last few weeks sometimes (with company names). I'm pretty sure it is/was a geonames issue an definitely not an IMatch issue.

Hi,

yes. It does look more like a Geonames issue to me, to be honest. And yes.... no city. I thought I might find someone who has experienced the same issue. I'll google and see if there are known issues with Geonames.

Thanks!
