Geocoder Changeover Update

Forums › General Discussion › Geocoder Changeover Update

nick Sep 17, 2018

Hey everyone,
In addition to the changeover this week, we will also be updating the OpenStreetMap geocoder with a snapshot of the latest data (as of September 15, 2018) from the OpenStreetMap project. This update will add more than 1.4 million towns & cities, as well as 10 million additional miles (16 million km) of roads around the world.

The geocoder’s backend system will also be updated to improve turf placement in areas outside of towns, making it easier to claim turf on rural highways.

The update will require some server downtime to implement, which will happen Tuesday night Pacific Time.

For more details, check out the Geocoder Update screen in the Help section.

Thanks to everyone for their detailed feedback in the past weeks! If you have any concerns about a specific area after the changeover, please let us know via the Feedback button on the home screen.

This is notice that 1 of the turf created outside of Girdwood, Alaska since the geocoder changeover are invalid and will be deleted shortly. These turf were erroneously allowed due to a bug in the legacy code related to the Apple geocoder that is now removed. Thank you for your understanding.

So 4 maps wasted and not given back. No respect points as compensation either. Eat a bag of –––!!!

If it lets ya build, why is it deleted regardless of error. Lets get punished for the systems screw up.. smh
