TrackAsia: The Connection Between Old & New Addresses – A Transition Solution for Vietnamese Businesses

July 1, 2025 has passed. The major administrative boundary reform in Vietnam has officially taken effect. This is no longer a forecast — it has become reality. And very likely, your system is facing a hidden risk greater than you think.

🛑 Urgent issue:

Most current mapping platforms — including major names like Google Maps, HERE, and OpenStreetMap — still do not fully support the new administrative addresses. This leads to a series of serious consequences:

  • Logistics systems cannot correctly identify delivery points.
  • Delivery services are misrouted, delayed, or return goods.
  • E-commerce websites encounter errors when customers select an address.
  • Reporting data becomes unsynchronized, affecting decision-making.
  • Many public administration systems remain “stuck” because they cannot find the new wards/communes.

💥 The risk is not about having no data — but about data not matching reality.       
              

TrackAsia – Vietnam Map API supporting both New & Old Addresses after July 1, 2025

One platform – A complete solution for Vietnam’s administrative boundary problem

  • TrackAsia is not just a map, but an API platform designed specifically for Vietnam’s administrative boundaries after the July 1, 2025 reform.

“Administrative Bombshell” Has Exploded: Where Are the Invisible Damages?

Imagine this scenario:

A customer in “Tam Thắng Ward, Ho Chi Minh City” places an order on your website. But the system only knows “Ward 8, Vũng Tàu City” and reports the address as invalid. The customer leaves disappointed. You just lost an order.

Worse, if the order is accepted, the delivery team struggles to find an address that no longer exists on the old map. The delivery fails, operating costs skyrocket, and brand reputation drops.

This is not the customer’s fault or the delivery staff’s fault. This is a system error – something many businesses are paying a high price for because they depend on mapping platforms that cannot keep up with administrative changes.

⚠️ Hidden costs are quietly eating into your profits:

  • 🚚 Errors in delivery & logistics: Higher return rates, increased operating costs due to incorrect address location.
  • 😣 Poor customer experience: Users get confused, lose trust, and easily switch to competitors.
  • 📉 Chaotic internal data: CRM, ERP mixing old and new addresses, making analysis and reporting inaccurate.    
     

Not Just Large Businesses – Small Businesses Are Also Affected

Restaurants, online shops, cooperatives, individual business households – all are affected when administrative boundaries change but systems do not update in time.

Local people may “understand” when the address no longer has the old ward/district, but customers from afar are completely lost.

A common case now is users sharing location via Google Maps, and although the system may navigate correctly, upon arrival the address no longer has the district name, making it extremely difficult to identify or verify the location – especially for delivery services, ride-hailing drivers, or new partners.    
 

TrackAsia API: The solution to adapt to new administrative changes

 

TrackAsia has fully updated the latest administrative boundaries according to the 2025 resolution. This is one of the few mapping platforms in Vietnam capable of:

Returning both old and new addresses in the same query result       
Supporting both old and new systems in parallel, ensuring administrative transitions do not disrupt data       
Optimized for industries requiring high legal accuracy such as real estate, finance – banking, logistics, e-commerce…

 

Example query:

GET https://maps.track-asia.com/api/v2/place/textsearch/json?query=472 Trần Hưng Đạo Street, Ward 2, District 5&include_old_admin=true&new_admin=true

OUTPUT:

{        
  "predictions": [        
    {        
      "description": "KIMMAY Landmark 81, 772 Điện Biên Phủ Street, Vườn Lài Ward, Ho Chi Minh City",        
      "name": "KIMMAY Landmark 81",        
      "formatted_address": "772 Điện Biên Phủ Street, Vườn Lài Ward, Ho Chi Minh City",        
      "old_description": "KIMMAY Landmark 81, 772 Điện Biên Phủ Street, Ward 10, District 10, Ho Chi Minh City",        
      "old_formatted_address": "772 Điện Biên Phủ Street, Ward 10, District 10, Ho Chi Minh City"        
    },        
    {        
      "description": "MK Restaurant Landmark 81, Thạnh Mỹ Tây Ward, Ho Chi Minh City",        
      "matched_substrings": [...]        
    }        
  ]        
}


👉 Thanks to this, whether customers enter the old address (Ward 2, District 5) or the new address (Chợ Quán Ward), the system can still accurately recognize it.    
 

Why Are International Solutions Like Google Maps Not Fast Enough?

Google Maps is a great tool, but it’s a giant ship. Changing its course to adapt to deeply local adjustments—such as a country’s administrative boundary changes—takes a lot of time.

The problem: Most current mapping platforms, including the big names, still do not fully support the new administrative addresses, causing many technology systems — from logistics, delivery, and e-commerce to public services — to suffer from information errors, incorrect lookups, and data desynchronization. For them, this is just one among thousands of global updates. But for Vietnamese businesses, this is a matter of survival. Their delay in updating means direct risk to your business operations. You can’t afford to wait.   
 

TrackAsia Maps – The “Safety Net” for Vietnamese Businesses

While other solutions are still struggling, TrackAsia has already prepared a comprehensive answer. We not only update maps according to the new boundaries, but also provide an intelligent and flexible conversion mechanism.

Simply put, we set up a “safety net” for your data. Whether users enter the old or new address, the system still understands and processes it smoothly.
