Hi,

I try to get names from Wikipedia, from the tests I have done the results are great, expect for the few errors with "List of Places ..." articles.

I don't know how you get information from Wikipedia, but the articles with more than one coordinates are useless.

See for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Places_of_Scenic_Beauty_of_Japan_%28Nara%29
or
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Treasures_of_Japan_%28castles%29
In both cases, I requested for the first place in the articles (Isui-en and Hikone castle), therefore the others places may not have this problem.


Best regards,
PBY
