GeoNames Forum

I've been running into a little 'chicken and egg' problem. I've wanted to add a Geonames entry for a well-known place, but end up using maps.google.com to reverse-geocode it, then jump through hoops to get the embedded map in geonames.org to the same co-ordinates.

This seems a little clumsy/perverse. Am I missing something?

Another use case: I know the street address I'm at, and want to see nearby points-of-interest. How do I quickly get the geonames map to center on that street address?

Would it be possible to use Google map's location search to center the Geonames map?

Hi Paul

You are right this is not very user friendly. I will have to fix it.
