GeoNames Forum

I've build a Daily Arctic map using tiles from NASA and showing the North Pole with a Polar Stereographic Projection. There are 4 zoom levels available (mouse wheel).

I want to show as many features as possible (glaciers, places, ice shelfs, etc.) and started with the cities web service. However, the north pole is often included in the bounding box and then the maxrows parameter seems to be ignored - far too less hits.

In case North Pole is not included cities in the lower left corner of the screen seem to have an strange priority.

Is there a way to improve the behaviour and have all features up to maxrows equally distributed over the map?

Many thanks for any help.

Hi Noiv

The cities service is optimized to distribute the labels over the map for mercator projections. It does not support other projections.
