Geo-referenced for which waves? [message #14699]

Hi all,

I am working on a paper where I use geo-referenced DHS data. I have two questions regarding this:

1. I have read in several papers now, that georeferenced data is only available from 2001 onwards. But on this website: https://dhsprogram.com/data/available-datasets.cfm it states that GPS data is also available for time periods before that. Can anyone tell me the definitive time frame? And is it linked to certain DHS waves?

2. I noticed that the geo-referenced datasets not necessarily match the other recode file. For example, I have a file called CMGE43 but the corresponding individual record is CMIR44. But this should make no difference, because both 3 and 4 as last digit indicate the same thing - "first survey", right?

Help would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot!
Best
Timo
