CountryCode values on GeocodeRequest

[Dmitry Razumikhin]

Hello!

I send GeocodeRequest as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xls:XLS xmlns:xls="http://www.opengis.net/xls" xmlns:sch="http://www.ascc.net/xml/schematron" 

xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/xls http://schemas.opengis.net/ols/1.1.0/LocationUtilityService.xsd" version="1.1">

<xls:RequestHeader/>

<xls:Request methodName="GeocodeRequest" requestID="123456789" version="1.1">

<xls:GeocodeRequest>

<xls:Address countryCode="RU">

<xls:freeFormAddress>Москва, Красная площадь</xls:freeFormAddress>

</xls:Address>

</xls:GeocodeRequest>

</xls:Request>

</xls:XLS>

but I got error response:

<xls:XLS xmlns:xls="http://www.opengis.net/xls" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.1" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/xlsXLS.xsd">

<xls:ResponseHeader xsi:type="xls:ResponseHeaderType" sessionID="Error"/>

<xls:_Body xsi:type="xls:ResponseType" requestID="123456789" version="1.1">

<xls:ErrorList>

<xls:Error errorCode="Unknown" severity="Error" locationPath="Can not connect to Nominatim!" message="RequestXLSDocument"/>

</xls:ErrorList>

</xls:_Body>

</xls:XLS>

If I set countryCode to "DE" or "EN" all works normally. 

My questions:

1) What countryCode values are supported?

2) Why countryCode seems like language code, not a _country_ code?

3) What is a best strategy to working with ORS - to use countryCode as a preference language code or something else?

Best regards,

Dmitry.

Hello Dmitry,

At the moment, ORS supports the following languages English, German, French and Italian.

2) Why countryCode seems like language code, not a _country_ code?

I agree, it is a bit misleading, but current implementation interprets countryCode attribute as a language code.

Kind regards,
Max

Do you have any plans or roadmap to support Russian language?

[Maxim Rylov]

In the near future, we do not have any plans to support more languages.
