geocoder returns the empty address

jovicassia9 years ago

I'm testing the traccar on my server.

Everything works perfectly fine, but the geocoder that returns the address always empty.

I previously tested the system on a computer with Windows Seven 64 and worked everything, including the address, just had to change the mysql database to UTF8, because I live in Brazil and here we use special characters (ç - ã - etc.)

For the tests we are using the app for android traccar, 3 phone brands and diferentes models, in all the error recurs

I tried to set up Google, Nominatim and created an account on OpenCage, nothing worked.

To see if the error occurred only in my server I configured the device to send the data to traccar demo server (demo.traccar.org) and found that the error happens also there !!!

If you want to check what is happening in the demo server the device name is RANGER CASSIA and the DEVICE ID 809040

Geocoder is disable on demo server, so it will never work.

As for your local server, I guess providers didn't return any data for you. Another possibility is that message was marked as having invalid GPS location.

Tanks for your fast response

NOMINATIN ANSWER IS OK:

How did you check the response?

jovicassia9 years ago

using the browser

jovicassia9 years ago

But !! using linux console

wget http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml&lon=-46.6444507&lat=-24.1065381&zoom=18&addressdetails=0

return:

<error>Unable to geocode</error>

Anton Tananaev9 years ago

Yeah, browser works fine, but not Traccar. I guess that Nominatim banned Traccar because many people used it with large number of devices. That's unfortunate because I can't even test it now.

jovicassia9 years ago

But WGET was sent by the Linux console line, not by traccar, therefore it should not be blocked.

Moreover I are 3 geocoder servers configured:

     <! - Geocoder options ->

     <Entry key = 'geocoder.enable'> true </ entry>
     <Entry key = 'geocoder.type'> opencage </ entry>
     <Entry key = 'geocoder.url'> http://api.opencagedata.com/geocode/v1 </ entry>
     <Entry key = 'geocoder.key'> ###c632519106####2644bab8bc9bd#### </ entry>

     <Entry key = 'geocoder.enable'> true </ entry>
     <Entry key = 'geocoder.type'> google </ entry>

     <Entry key = 'geocoder.enable'> true </ entry>
     <Entry key = 'geocoder.type'> nominatim </ entry>
     <Entry key = 'geocoder.url'> http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse </ entry>

Your XML is invalid. Why "Entry" is upper-case? Why do you have spaces around values?

jovicassia9 years ago

An error in the time that I copied from the server, follows a copy right

    <!-- Geocoder options -->

    <entry key='geocoder.enable'>true</entry>
    <entry key='geocoder.type'>opencage</entry>

Are you sure messages from your device are marked as valid?

jovicassia9 years ago

It seems that everything is OK, everything works right (tracker, etc) unless the address
