Issue with LocationIQ reverse geocoding

Peter4 years ago

Update!
I follow this help "https://www.traccar.org/forums/topic/upgrade-from-42-to-43/page/3/"

  • reload daemon and
  • restart traccar service

Now it works! Thank your help and have a good time!

Damn. Hey Peter... That link seems to have been taken down or something...
It doesn't seem to go anywhere...

@Mervyn Augustus - It is there, I can view it. Try the one below:

And when I click on show address, I got:

Received fatal alert: handshake_failure - SSLHandshakeException (... < JsonGeocoder:107 < ServerResource:57 < ...)

A very easy and quick fix for this problem is simply remove an "S" from the URL, simply change:

<entry key='geocoder.url'>https:// 

to

 <entry key='geocoder.url'>http:// 

What many people overlook is not everyone has their Traccar server set up over a HTTPS connection. To use the location service over HTTPS one needs to have your server set up for HTTPS.

Removing the "S" forces the location service to use a nonencrypted HTTP connection.

To use the location service over HTTPS one needs to have your server set up for HTTPS.

This is an incorrect statement. You don't have to have your Traccar server using https to connect to external https service.

Hi Anton. I was referring to the server Traccar runs on not Traccar itself. I'm not sure how the Traccar platform (runnning on a server without HTTPS) communicates over LocationIQ's TLSv1. 2 link. Maybe the Traccar platform has its own native SSL?

Anyway, I found just removing the "S" from the URL was all I needed to do to for it to work.
