Reverse lookup of coordinates missing state property

[dhimmel]

When looking up this coordinate in the United States in the state of New Hampshire, no state and county information is returned:

https://photon.komoot.io/reverse?lat=44.1791949&lon=-71.1657218&lang=en

{
  "features": [
    {
      "geometry": {
        "coordinates": [-71.1689614, 44.178123],
        "type": "Point"
      },
      "type": "Feature",
      "properties": {
        "osm_type": "N",
        "osm_id": 357730905,
        "country": "United States",
        "osm_key": "natural",
        "countrycode": "US",
        "osm_value": "peak",
        "postcode": "03846",
        "name": "The Knoll",
        "type": "locality"
      }
    }
  ],
  "type": "FeatureCollection"
}

A nearby point also in New Hampshire does return this information https://photon.komoot.io/reverse?lat=44.31949&lon=-71.1657218&lang=en

{
  "features": [
    {
      "geometry": {
        "coordinates": [-71.1583899, 44.3181199],
        "type": "Point"
      },
      "type": "Feature",
      "properties": {
        "osm_type": "W",
        "osm_id": 267558894,
        "extent": [-71.1678626, 44.3267357, -71.1490249, 44.3100633],
        "country": "United States",
        "osm_key": "highway",
        "countrycode": "US",
        "district": "Bean's Purchase",
        "osm_value": "path",
        "name": "Carter-Moriah Trail",
        "county": "Coös County",
        "state": "New Hampshire",
        "type": "street"
      }
    }
  ],
  "type": "FeatureCollection"
}

Nomatim is able to get the state: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse.php?lat=44.1791949&lon=-71.1657218&zoom=15&format=jsonv2

  "display_name": "Jackson, Carroll County, New Hampshire, 03846, United States",
  "address": {
    "village": "Jackson",
    "county": "Carroll County",
    "state": "New Hampshire",
    "ISO3166-2-lvl4": "US-NH",
    "postcode": "03846",
    "country": "United States",
    "country_code": "us"
  },

Any ideas on why state and county are missing for certain reverse lookups? Is the intent of photon to provide this information?

I believe that was already fixed with #808. It's high time for another release.

Great news!

It's high time for another release

Any release would be greatly appreciated, since for my application the changes likely need to be live at https://photon.komoot.io/reverse to realize the benefits.

Thanks for the 0.6.0 release. The https://photon.komoot.io/reverse?lat=44.1791949&lon=-71.1657218&lang=en URL does not return state and county fields but I'm not actually sure where to see what version of photon is running at https://photon.komoot.io.

The bug fix needs an updated data dump. The weekly dump (and first from version 0.6.0) on https://download1.graphhopper.com/public/ came out yesterday and the next update on photon.komoot.io is due in 2 hours.

@dhimmel https://photon.komoot.io/status returns when data was last imported (but not the Photon version number)

Thanks all! I just retried the API call and received:

{
  "features": [
    {
      "geometry": {
        "coordinates": [-71.1689614, 44.178123],
        "type": "Point"
      },
      "type": "Feature",
      "properties": {
        "osm_type": "N",
        "osm_id": 357730905,
        "country": "United States",
        "osm_key": "natural",
        "city": "Jackson",
        "countrycode": "US",
        "osm_value": "peak",
        "postcode": "03846",
        "name": "The Knoll",
        "county": "Carroll County",
        "state": "New Hampshire",
        "type": "other"
      }
    }
  ],
  "type": "FeatureCollection"
}

So the results now contain city, county, and state. Problem solved!
