Reproduction steps

I just checked the geolocation on the map and the name direct above on different pics. The map is always correct, the name of the location not.

@jrasm91 commented on GitHub (Jun 5, 2023):

The image doesn't have city/state/country information in it directly. We use a reverse geocoding library that relies on data dumps from geonames to do a reverse lookup from the gps coordinates. The accuracy of that information is tied to the precision the library is configured to use, combined with the accuracy of the data. Immich itself is not going to be able to do much in terms of accuracy.

We can adjust the precision in the Dockerfile, but what is the default? (By default the precision env var is commented out).
I'm experiencing the same issue, - and it is not because the town is to small.

You can turn on verbose logging and reupload the picture in question to see what data we're getting back. This is pretty much all the code:

Not 100% sure about how to do it on the phone. You can delete in from the web though.

Ahh sure... I'll try it and give feedback. I'll check some more pics and no Pic have the correct geolocation name. The map is always correct.

It's not going to match Hasseldieksdamm because it doesn't show up in the cities1000 dump (it doesn't have a population and the cities files we're using only includes cities with 1000+ population).

Ok, the way to fix this would be to put 1000 under population? Thats a little bit strange. There are a lot parts of Kiel that could be under 1000 People. Kronshagen is defintiv wrong, Kiel would be ok because Hasseldieksdamm is a part of Kiel

Immich, a photo management tool, has implemented this feature, reverse geocoding, by using data provided from http://www.geonames.org/. For questions about the accuracy of the data, you will have to consult geonames directly. For requests to update the data we're using cities1000.txt, you will also have to consult geonames. Obviously, the data is not going to be perfect and I'm not sure where they get the information from for this specific region. The data is provided for free, so it's the best we can do at the moment. I think, while technically not the closest populated city, Kronshagen is the closest known city and happens to be only one to two miles away from the original gps point.

But Kronshagen is not Kiel, and Hasseldieksdamm is a part of Kiel. Kiel has 250k population. Ill try to fix this over geonames

Maybe for future updates on your photo management software, could you integrate google api as an alternativ for people who want this (to use an own key)

Feel free to open a feature request for an alternative reverse geocoding implementation (google maps). We could definitely add a setting for a google maps key and use that, which is probably much more accurate. The implementation we use doesn't take city/country boundaries into consideration. It's just the distance between the point of the image and the gps locations of the cities in the dump from geonames.
