GeoNames Monthly Diff Report (August 2020)

GeoIP2 and GeoLite2 databases incorporate GeoNames geographical data, which is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License.

Monthly updates to GeoNames data are incorporated into our databases as we refresh them. Below you will find a CSV report of these changes for the month of August as they relate to the following fields:

geoname_id
country_name
country_code
city_name
subdivision_1_iso_code
subdivision_2_iso_code

Note that the values for the ‘old’ and ‘new’ columns for a given field only differ for the field defined in the ‘diff_in’ column.

*GeoNames is changing the time zone for some larger cities in Northern Vietnam to Asia/Bangkok instead of Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh, though the UTC offset remains the same. For more info see this thread. These changes will show up in this month’s GeoIP2 builds.
