Time to celebrate. 🥳 We hit a nice milestone last week when @theHyphyDude submitted a pull request on our address-formatting project. The PR added a link to a #golang project that uses our templates.

So what is address-formatting?
github.com/OpenCageData/a…

🌍🧵👇 2/ Here's the problem: addresses all over the world are different. Different countries do things differently, and sometimes there are even differences within countries.

You might have seen that Spain 🇪🇸 is growing: 🌋🏝️

A perfect time to continue our geoweirdness thread series with a look at Spain

🌍⁉️👇 2/ First up, most people think Spain 🇪🇸 is only in Europe, but Spain has two “Ciudades autónomas” in northern Africa : Cueta and Melilla en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceuta
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melilla

In this week’s geo weirdness thread we return to Europe to take a look at Belgium 🇧🇪

🧵🌎⁉️ 2/ The Kingdom of Belgium has 3 official languages: Dutch, French, German. The country's linguistic diversity leads to a complex internal organization
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communiti… and many places have multiple names

1/ To mix things up a bit on this site, we thought we'd experiment with using Fridays to post the occasional thread about geo topics we're often asked about. Today we'll start with one everyone thinks is simple, but really isn't: reverse geocoding 🧵🗺️⬅️ 2/ Reverse geocoding is turning coordinates (lat,lng) into location info. So 51.952659, 7.632473 becomes "Friedrich-Ebert-Straße 7, 48153 Münster, Germany" (OpenCage HQ, as you can see on our demo page). So far, so simple, right? opencagedata.com/demo
