MapTiler Geocoding – release 2.15.22
This report provides a snapshot of our Geocoding services. We regularly update the indexes to integrate the latest data and introduce new search features.
- Status: Production
- Production deployment date: 2026-08-26
- Index version (data portal): 2.15.22
Main changes
-
Database growth: The global database expanded by 284k features, including 238k new POIs, 20k new addresses, 11k new places, and 2k new roads. This provides more comprehensive and up-to-date search results for users worldwide.
-
Bilingual names in Spain and Italy: Places and streets whose names combine two language variants with a slash, for example
Pamplona/Iruña, could appear more than once because the source data is inconsistent about variant order and spacing. This has been addressed, and a search for either variant now returns a single result. -
Duplicate place records in the United Kingdom: A single place could be returned as two competing records, for example
GlasgowalongsideGlasgow City. This has been addressed, and affected places now return one result with a more specific place type instead of a genericlocalitylabel. -
Placeholder names in address data: Placeholder values indicating undefined or unknown values were treated as real place names. It cleans up address search mainly in the United States.
Global and regional changes
-
Global: Full data refresh using OpenStreetMap updates from 2026-07-26, together with database improvements.
-
Place and address improvements:

Glasgowinstead of separate records for the city andGlasgow City). - United States: Placeholder address names such as
unknown,unincorporated, andunassignedno longer appear in results.
- Spain and Italy: Bilingual names separated by a slash return a single result for either variant (for example finding
