# MapTiler Geocoding – release 2.15.21

This report provides a snapshot of our [Geocoding](https://docs-beta-4y5.pages.dev/cloud/api/geocoding/) services. We regularly update the indexes to integrate the latest data and introduce new search features.

-   Status: **Deprecated**
-   Production deployment date: **2026-07-29**
-   Index version (data portal): **2.15.21**

## Main changes

-   **Database growth:** The global database expanded by **693,687** features, including **609,133** new POIs, **63,557** new addresses, and **6,505** new roads. This provides more comprehensive and up-to-date search results for users worldwide.
    
-   **Worldview updates:** We updated the boundary database to support country-specific views for Japan (`jp`), South Korea (`kr`), and the United Arab Emirates (`ae`). These changes align with the [MapTiler Planet-v4 state](https://docs-beta-4y5.pages.dev/updates/data/planet-v4-latest/).
    
-   **Place deduplication:** We merged duplicate city point records into administrative boundaries in countries like the US, Sweden, Germany, and Spain. This removes redundant search results and integrates official Wikidata records.
    

## Global and regional changes

-   **Global:** Full data refresh using recent OpenStreetMap updates and database improvements.
    
-   **Boundary views:** Re-synchronized simplified country grids and boundary logic to support custom country-level search views for Japan, South Korea, and the UAE.
    
-   **Europe address improvements:**
    
    -   **Hungary:** Updated address queries to support flexible formats (for example finding `Marton utca 3/b` when entered as `Marton utca 3b`).
    -   **Sweden:** Updated city-level formatting to return the primary metropolitan city name (for example returning `Stockholm` instead of localized neighborhood divisions like `Källan`).
