there was a problem in the duplication test with parsing the minus symbol. Should be fixed now.

I changed the consistency check once more to be more tolerant. And I have updated the elevation of Gauri Sankar to 7134m.

There are improvements every day. So I suggest you either don't care about these changes or implement a daily download/update and grab a new full dump once you are ready with your daily update process.

General -> No Tourist Spots in the UK?? -> Go to message
Under the feature class 'Spot' there are a couple of religious feature codes:

- church
- monastery
- temple
- convent
- religious site

Choose whatever you think fits best.

General -> Adding new entries goes wrong -> Go to message
It seems to be a known bug with either googlemaps or IE8:

There is a workaround mentioned. We will try this.

General -> Adding new entries goes wrong -> Go to message
I have moved Hofplein Station without any problems (using firefox).
Which browser are you using?

Marc
General -> Adding new entries goes wrong -> Go to message
Did it happen for only one entry or for all new entries? I moved the entry and it seems to work correctly.

FAQ - frequently asked questions -> I have problems using the webservice with blanks and special characters -> Go to message
your encoding for the json service does not look correct.

It should be "Goi%C3%A1s" instead of "goi%E3%A1s".

Das Rathaus ist eher ein 'Spot'/'Building' als ein 'populated place' es sei denn es ist ein Stadtteil 'section of populated place'.
Eine Kaff mit nur wenigen Häusern, ist am eher ein 'Spot' und war HSE:
HSE house(s) a building used as a human habitation

Oder wenn ein wenig grösser ein 'populated place' mit PPLS: "cities, towns, villages, or other agglomerations of buildings where people live and work".

Postal Codes -> Create/Host a "Find nearby postal codes" myself -> Go to message
You will need the postal code list. The source code is not available, but there are enough postings on this forum how to write the db query.

I have found something:

It is not complete, but maybe helpful nevertheless.

General -> Invalid Entries in alternateNames.txt -> Go to message
Thanks, Rich.
I have deleted the erroneous entries as they were duplicates to correct alternate names.
Please feel free to directly fix errors you find:
