Hello,

I found that in exported files http://download.geonames.org/export/zip/ have a lot mistakes wit latlng coordinates.

Mistakes comes if name of town is same like name of other town which is on absolute different part of country.

There is no matter if they have same county or not...if name of village is same with some other village, they comes with same latlng.
Even is name of village is same of ohter city name...they also comes with same latlng.
If there is more than two place with same name...they all will be gruped by same latlng, and only one ot them have true latlng.
