Every country has its own hierarchy of administrative districts as you can see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_administrative_divisions_by_country

For France this would be regions (adminDistrict), departments (adminDistrict2), arrondissements (boroughs/adminDistrict3), and cantons (adminDistrict4) Looking around, I can't find any information on "counties" in France, only the administrative district types I mentioned.

Locality is often used for cities, towns, municipalities, or similar areas.

Hi Ricky,

We found one strange behavior while reverse geocode. When we execute the below URL then it returns Locality “Eltingville” when we used our enterprise key and when we checked with the developer key then it returns the Locality as “Staten Island” which is correct that we expected.

https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations/40.544655,-74.166424?verboseplacenames=true&key=

Can you please check and let us know what is the issue and how to resolve it.

Thanks
