refers to Map center : N 13° 46' 58'' E 100° 24' 32'

district Taling Chan is to the east of the road running through the middle N-S and district Thawi Wattana to the west of this same road.

anyhow - let me know to my email when a possibility of inserting of a new names is done and I can work a little on Bangkok

even worse goes for Bangkok postal codes - Bangkok cod 10170 for a district Thawi Wattana and cod 10160 for district Taling Chan both point to Sukhothai, some 500 km north of Bangkok.

http://www.geonames.org/postal-codes/TH/10/bangkok.html
13. Thawi Wattana 10170 Thailand Bangkok 17.136/99.402
14. Taling Chan 10170 Thailand Bangkok 17.136/99.402

while trying to insert a new name a message:
"error while saving:
country code TH is not neighbouring to TH"

appeares.

btw somehow I couldn't register on these boards (cod not recognised) but would appreciate if you register me manually:

and any password (which I would later change)

Can I get the postal code dump for India ? my email address is hirenpathak(at)gmail(dot)com

Thanks. You guys are doing really a nice job. Keep up the good work.

Hello Admin/Moderators,
I just came to know that the postal codes for "Gandhi Nagar" region in India has wrong state information. The AdminName1 contains the "State" information.

Gandhi Nagar is in "Gujarat" state and not in "Punjab" state. All the codes for Gandhi Nagar should have "Gujarat" as an AdminName1.

Please make this correction.

Thanks in Advance

I put in my UK postcode PA35 1HN, and it produced a map some 15 miles out. When I scrolled the map down to my village - the database didn't even recognise it as Dalavich, but instead showed a single holiday home a mile away as being the nearest populated place!

ok this works fine:

http://ws.geonames.org/postalCodeSearchJSON?postalcode=91126&maxRows=1&country=DE

but it don't delivers admin1-3 like in your "Postal Code Search" in the menu above

Place Code Country Admin1 Admin2 Admin3
1 Schwabach 91126 Germany Bayern Mittelfranken Kreisfreie Stadt Schwabach

Can you send me please a dump with postal codes for Germany and Austria? My email: yana(dot)weber(at)realityconsult(dot)com

Thanks!.

Hi!

I'm currently working on a project for my university that requires me to calculate distances between places in France, your database dump has already been very helpful to me because I was able to calculate distance between cities, but would now need the latitude/longitude of these postcodes

It would be a huge help if you could provide me with this information:
- Postcodes of France
- Their location (latitude and longitude)
[- The cities associated with them]

Thanks very much in advance,
Thomas A.

Thank you very much for this project.

Hallo Marc

Ich würde das ganze gerne einmal anschauen, doch leider sind meine Programmierkenntnisse, insbesondere Java, doch sehr limitiert!
So wie es scheint liefern nur immer eine oder vielleicht 2 Stationen Fehler im Attribut "temperature". Insbesonders bei der Station FQVL kommt es immer wieder zu Fehlern:

"weatherCondition": "n/a",
"clouds": "scattered clouds",
"humidity": 0,
"observation": "FQVL 130900Z 090//KT 9999 SCT020 29/20 Q1015",
"ICAO": "FQVL",
"lng": 35.3166666666667,
"datetime": "2006-12-13 10:00:00",
"stationName": "Vilanculos",
"lat": -22,
"hectoPascAltimeter": 1015,
"dewPoint": "0",
"temperature": "90"

--> Hier nimmt er die Windstärke als Temperatur!?

Ich kenne leider keine anderen Metar-Parser ausser diejenigen, welche man im www findet. Ob die jedoch besser geeignet sind weiss ich nicht!

Eine Frage zum Schluss
Wenn ich von der ganzen Welt Wetterdaten anfordere, so liefert mir dein Service ca. 2530 Stationen. Sind dies alle Stationen weltweit oder ist dies nur ein Ausschnitt? Habe mal nach den ID der Stationen gesucht und dort eine Liste mit über 6000 Einträgen entdeckt. Liefern diese keine Daten oder unterstützt der Service nicht alle Stationen?

Nochmals besten Dank für diesen wirklich guten und hilfreichen Webservice.

Freundliche Grüsse

Christian

Hallo

Danke für den genialen Service, es hat alles bestens funktioniert!!

Eine Frage wäre da noch:
Das Attribut "temperature" liefert die aktuelle Temparatur aus dem Metar-String. Dies scheint auch überall zu funktionieren, nur an einer Stelle habe ich einen Fehler gefunden, als ich folgende Antwort vom Service bekam:

....
"lat": -22,
"observation": "FQVL 080900Z 060//KT 9999 SCT020 30/20 Q1010",
"temperature": "60",
"datetime": "2006-12-08 10:00:00",
"dewPoint": "0",
"ICAO": "FQVL",
"hectoPascAltimeter": 1010,
"weatherCondition": "n/a",
"lng": 35.3166666666667,
"clouds": "scattered clouds",
"humidity": 3,
"stationName": "Vilanculos"
...

Die Temperatur laut Metar-String sollte 30° sein und nicht wie unter "temperature" 60°! Habe dies jedoch nur bei dieser Station festgestellt, bei allen anderen scheint der richtige Wert zu kommen. Gibt es dafür einen Grund?

Christian

It should also be possible to use ftp to upload the file to the server. And than use phpmyadmin to send a sql command: LOAD DATA INFILE

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/load-data.html

You should try it first local (e.g. XAMPP).

Greetings

by "synchronizing your db" you mean I just copy/paste that code in a text editor to make a php file and run it on my machine?

Excuse my newbie questions

We work on universal skript for all languages. Because we have both other fulltime jobs, we would welcome any help.

Ok, Thanks for your reply
But can you plaease tell me that for which coutries you are having admin2 data in dump files?
and is the all coutries zip have admin2 data (for those it is available) ?
Sorry for my bad english.

I work for a toy company that sells it’s products in several countries. We currently use a software program called “Ultimate Locator” to direct our web visitors to retail outlets in the US and Canada.

http://www.ultimatelocator.com/

UL claims to support the use of international postal codes provided that the countries database has been added (it comes with US/Can).

I was wondering if anyone has had experience integrating GeoNames into Ultimate Locator and what their experience has taught them.

Our current locator:

Hi, I am using database dump of India.
India is having 2 admin level ADM1 and ADM2.
My problem is that I am not able to get ADM2 for any city or place.
How is the relation between ADM2 and it's child places in the table.
In the database for cities or places only ADM1 is given.

Thanks
