Traccar reverse geocoding service

Victor Butler 16 hours ago

I don't see this being used on demo.traccar.org yet, or am i wrong? Address is just displayed as Lat/Lon values.

How can we test the official deployment?

Based on my experience with traccar reverse geocoding the major issue is with generating reports:

  • If Nominatim is used, all coordinates in Reports are being decoded but due to the rate restrictions, the report generation takes a lot of time (or worst case, it times out).
  • If other service like LocationIQ is being used, coordinates are being decoded successfully without delayed report generation, however if you hit any rate limits, the relevant coordinates are not decoded, so you end up with inconsistent data in Address column.

It will be interesting to see how the 15, 20, 50 requests / second impact report generation with the official deployment.

You can always deploy it yourself to test. If you want to check our deployment, we have subscription options available:

Working on automating it. Ideally every week or so.
