# MapTiler Geocoding – release 2.15.22

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: **2026-08-26**
-   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 `Glasgow` alongside `Glasgow City`. This has been addressed, and affected places now return one result with a more specific place type instead of a generic `locality` label.
    
-   **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:**
    
    -   **Spain and Italy:** Bilingual names separated by a slash return a single result for either variant (for example finding `Pamplona/Iruña` when entered as `Pamplona / Iruña` or `Iruña/Pamplona`).
    -   **United Kingdom:** Places previously returned twice now return one result with a more specific place type (for example a single result for `Glasgow` instead of separate records for the city and `Glasgow City`).
    -   **United States:** Placeholder address names such as `unknown`, `unincorporated`, and `unassigned` no longer appear in results.
