mypapit/daerah-geocoder repository overview

No-brainer reverse geocoding service using GeoHash and KD-Tree algorithms. Designed for small-area reverse geocoding, originally developed for Malaysian city coordinates.

⁠Docker usage

docker pull mypapit/daerah-geocoder:latest

docker run -d -p 15000:15000 -v /usr/local/shared-data:/shared-data -v /var/log:/var/log mypapit/daerah-geocoder:latest

⁠Dataset

The dataset used in this project is sourced from Kaggle: Malaysian States and City Coordinates⁠
DOI: 10.34740/KAGGLE/DSV/12133806⁠

You can always download latest reverse-geocoding file "daerah-working-set.csv" from Kaggle or create your own and placed it on /usr/local/shared-data (or any directory of your choosing)

⁠Acknowledgements

I would like to thank my associates and various trainees at the RICAEN office at Universiti Teknologi MARA (Perlis), Malaysia, for their help in gathering the information.

⁠Inspiration

The data can be combined with other datasets to determine the nearest city, district, or state. It can also be used with kNN algorithms, KD-Tree, or experiments to build a localized reverse-geocoder
