Hello,

Instead of correct to errors on our side, i would prefer to correct the error in the geonames database. Ex "juan-les-pins" in france is under the "antibes" administrative area. Also all the name of russian cities must be in cyrillic, not in latin the city name in postal codes are also often innacurate

regards
stephane

Hi Stephane

Helping improve the data is very simple:
http://www.geonames.org/manual.html

As for juan-les-pins the problem was that the lat/lng was in the ocean and it did not fall withing the municipality polygons from IGN. Moving it slightly to the city center solved it.

Best Regards

Marc
