Get GeoPositions via Free Wolfram Engine for Developers and KnowledgeBase?

Hi,

I’m starting to experiment with the Free Wolfram Engine for Developers. Following Stephen’s introductory book, I’ve tried the following command:

Interpreter["Location"]["Zurich"]

The output is different from what I expected from the book. The book suggests that I should get a ‘GeoPosition’, while I get an ‘Entity[City, …]’ and precisely

Entity[City, {Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland}]

While as a city the response is correct I was surprised by the difference. I checked in the Wolfram Cloud and there I get a ‘GeoPosition’ as expected.

Are there limitations to the KnowledgeBase accessible from the Free Wolfram Engine for Developers?

Regards,
Fede

I’m not sure if that is a bug or not, what happens if you ask for:

Entity["City", {"Zurich", "Zurich", "Switzerland"}]["Position"]

?

That give the expected ‘GeoPosition’ result.
