How can i shown address?

Peter Leibling3 months ago

Hello, i have now my new Traccar Server up and running - and i love it. Now i can see the position of my car and my Smartphone. But often, when i view my Trips, i see not all addresses - some entrys shown "shown Address". This is normaly no problem, i click on this an get the address - but if i export this as Excel File, i see in this File too "shown Address" and i have to edit every entry manually.

Is there a way to correct this?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Yes, configure a reverse geocoding provider that doesn't have any rate limits.

Thanks, sounds good - did you have more informations? Or examples?

Thanks a lot for your fast help :).

We have documentation available. I recommend reading that first. It has examples.

Hmm, there is an Error shown after implementing:

us1.locationiq.com - UnknownHostException (... < JsonGeocoder:126 < ServerResource:121 < ... < OverrideFilter:49 < ...)

Add this in existing traccar.xml and restart the container (create also an account and api at locationiq and use the API Key instead of the placeholder):

<entry key='geocoder.enable'>true</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.type'>nominatim</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.url'>https://eu1.locationiq.com/v1/reverse.php</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.key'>YOUR API KEY</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.onRequest'>false</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.ignorePositions'>false</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.reuseDistance'>10</entry>

That error means you have some network issue.

Thanks a lot for your problem. The problem was the Docker Host self, the problem is solved and now it works perfect - thanks for the cool Application and all your Support :).
