Address stopped working
Anton, I further reinforce that, the devices do not go directly without showing the address, but there are times when it is normal and moments that the address disappears and also does not generate the information in the reports.
Most likely missing address indicates a problem with your reverse geocoder provider.
I'm using google geocoder. Would you know why this was happening?
I guess because people abuse Google free service, it enforces limits. You are actually lucky that you get at least something. For most people it doesn't work at all.
Do I have any other functional options that work well with the tractor? Beyond google free.
Would the abuse of the service be in what specifically, reporting? Send coordinates of the device in a short period of time? Or something of the kind
Check this page:
Have other options, my question is, can I use them simultaneously?
ex:
<entry key='geocoder.enable'>true</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.type'>google</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.type'>opencage</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.url'>http://api.opencagedata.com/geocode/v1</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.key'>YOUR API KEY</entry>
or
<entry key='geocoder.enable'>true</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.type'>google,opencage</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.url'>http://api.opencagedata.com/geocode/v1</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.key'>YOUR API KEY</entry>
No, at the moment you can only use one geocoding provider at a time.
Ok, in this case then Anton, it's best to check a paid account or create a server to perform the geocoding. For as the amount of users grows, obviously it will require more and more of the queries to the geocoder, causing it to add up, or present some anomaly.
Personally I would recommend LocationIQ. It's based on Nominatim. High daily limit on free account and good prices for paid version.
Anton, I was checking the LocationIQ and the number of daily requests is very good. My question is how to implement it, I already generated the token for the API, but I do not know where to put this token.
<entry key='geocoder.enable'>true</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.type'>nominatim</entry>
<entry key='geocoder.url'>http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse</entry>
Where do I put the api key I generated on LocationIQ?
You should put key into "geocoder.key" parameter. Make sure you are using Traccar version 3.10.
I am using version 3.9, any problem? Because version 3.10 had some implementations that for me are not necessary. So I'm at 3.9, do you think it might not work properly the API or something like that?
Hello everyone.
I'm using the GPS103 in the original tracing system, initially it was working perfect, after a few days, some devices stopped showing the address, so some show and some did not show the address. Neither in the state of the vehicle nor in the reports. Can you help me?
