Hi Marc,
Could you run me through the process to add a location that is not currently in Geonames?
What format do you need the lat/long in?
Thanks,
ChloƩ

Hi ChloƩ
You can manually add location with your web browser;
http://www.geonames.org/manual.html
If you have a lot of data to insert you can send me a csv file with the information, the following fields are required: name, lat, lng, country, featurecode, featureclass. The more info (population,elevation, adm codes) the better.
I can then add it to the database as a batch process. The time to do this depends also on how easy it is for me to check the quality (to avoid duplications etc). The better the input file (already filtered for duplications and consistency then the time to complete the insert will be much faster)
Best
Marc

Hi Marc,
Is that possibile to add a place in GeoNames as an area, instead of just a marker point (with lat and lng coordinates)?
Thanks a lot
David
