Hi guys,

i'm so much concern about this, when i download the database information and search for example for ADM1 list ON adm1codes.txt for Chile i have this:

CL.00 Chile (general)
CL.01 Valparaíso
CL.02 Aisén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo
CL.03 Antofagasta
CL.04 Araucanía
CL.05 Atacama
CL.06 Bío-Bío
CL.07 Coquimbo
CL.08 Libertador General Bernardo OʼHiggins
CL.10 Magallanes y Antártica Chilena
CL.11 Maule
CL.12 Región Metropolitana

but few months ago Chile updated its ADM1 list to two new ones, now there aure is 15 ADM1. i look for the in the webservies an there it was them! so the database text file is not updated but certainly webservices it is....

how can we fix this? (i think is the same in all countries...)

Here i leave you the search in the webservice:

http://ws.geonames.org/search?q=&country=CL&featureCode=ADM1

this results in the correct ADM1 for Chile:

So there's a problem between the txt data and the webservies real source??

wait for ur help!

some of the ADM1 in Chile were missing the admincode. It will be available with the next dump.
