In this edition of The Geodata Insider, you will learn how to make full use of your location data. 2:00 minute read 🗺️ From geographic data to strategic decisions: Market leader insights 👑 Capital names in Bahrain & Kuwait updated 🔎 Monthly changes 🌊 The longest coastline in the world From geographic data to strategic decisions: Market leader insights The quality of your geographic data determines your success when deciding where to operate, expand, or deliver.   Discover how market leaders like Opterrix, Alignmix, and CISCO extract actionable insights from their location data.   Read the full guide →  Capital names in Bahrain & Kuwait updated Manama and Kuwait City don't match their countries' official administrative divisions. They span multiple areas with different names.   This meant these capital names were missing from our standard ZIP code database.   We've now added these commonly used capital names to our cities.   The original area names remain available as alternative names (Kuwait) and suburbs (Bahrain). Monthly changes In July, we updated 1,774,529 rows in our postal database.   Full Postal & Street updates Mexico, United Kingdom, United States Postal database patches (small changes) Bahrain (Capital name), Finland (Administrative Divisions), Kuwait (Capital name), Italy (Postcodes), Switzerland (Administrative Divisions) Postal boundary updates Sweden Postal boundary patches (small changes) Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Spain Administrative boundaries patches (small changes) United States For a detailed changelog, take a look at the CSV file. The longest coastline in the world Canada has the longest coastline of any country, spanning over 243,000 km. That's longer than Indonesia, Australia, or any island nation you can think of. It comes down to Canada's wild geography.   The country touches three different oceans, has more than 52,000 islands scattered around its edges, and countless bays and inlets that snake inland for miles.   The exact coastline measurement varies according to the Coastline Paradox; the more detailed you get, the longer the measurement becomes.
