Miky

Which timezone are you living in? We had serious performance problems last week with the free servers, those are solved now.

General -> Help breaking AllCountries Data into Country, State and City Data -> Go to message
Hi

Cities have the featureclass 'P' (PPLC,PPLA, PPL). You should include those as well in your extract.

General -> Affiliate program for geonames? -> Go to message
Hi Giorgio

There is an affiliate program for application developers leveraging the commercial web services and including it in an application. If users of this application sign up for the commercial GeoNames web services the proceeds will be shared with the application developer.

We are having some server or networking problem. The free service is still affected. We are working on fixing the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Forum in Deutsch -> Ortskoordinaten verändert: neues Bundesland zugewiesen? -> Go to message
Jiimy

Das sollte eigentlich ein Feature sein, aber zumindest in deinem Fall ist es eher ein Bug. Die admin Information wird aus den Grenzlinien bestimmt, die wir in der DB haben. Das ist wahrscheinlich nicht sehr sinnvoll, wenn die Felder schon ausgefüllt waren. Es wäre sicher besser die Infos zu bewahren, statt sie zu überschreiben. Ich werde dies ändern.

Deine Änderungen siehst du hier:

Gruss

General -> Offshore features -> Go to message
Sure, you can search for them as long as they are in our database. If they are missig you can add them yourself.

General -> Mistakes in countryinfo.txt -> Go to message
Oops. I had put the modified file in the wrong directory, so that it did not get picked up by the daily dump. Sorry.

Forum in Deutsch -> Postleitzahl verschieben: wie gehts das? -> Go to message
Hallo Darnell

Postleitzahlen verschieben kann man nicht. Was du aber tun kannst ist den Stadtteil als PPLX erfassen und die PLZ als 'AlternateName' mit pseudo Sprachcode 'post' angeben.
Ich kann dann die PLZ DB mit diesen Daten aktualisieren.

Gruss

General -> Download Country::India Specific data -> Go to message
Hi Shann

For large areas it is better to download the country dump from the download directory:
http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/

Dump for India:

Postal Codes -> Forcing postal codes to reference geoname_id? -> Go to message
Hi Patou, I have no idea when it will be available, but certainly not anytime soon. I simply don't have time to work on it right now.

General -> feature suggestion: cityname for hierarchy webservice -> Go to message
Giorgio,

In fact the extendedFindNearby service already is a combination of several services, among them the findNearby and the hierarchy service. For PPLX the corresponding city has now been included in the hierarchy service.

Posting errors here in the forum is fine. I have set the lat/lng for 98195 to the University of Washington.
Thanks a lot.

Forum in Deutsch -> Ort über Interface modifiziert, JSON Ergebnis teilweise mit alten Werten. -> Go to message
Hallo jimmysrc

GeoNames verwendet mehrere Server für die Webseite und die verschiedenen Webdienste. Die Server sollten eigentlich sofort und unmittelbar über Änderungen informiert werden, aber manchmal geht bei der Synchronisation was schief.
Ich habe den Suchindex auf den anderen Server kopiert, so sind diese im Moment identisch.

Administrative Divisions -> Denmark -> Go to message
Hi Yves

This is exact. Most toponyms still refer to the old counties. Do you know how they counties merge into the regions? Is there a hard and fast rule? If yes we could easily update our database.

General -> codepage character encoding - I can't see some of the characters on Windows -> Go to message
Hi Rein

If you are using a UTF8 capable editor and have opened the file with the proper encoding and still see some wrong characters for asian countries then it might be that you haven't installed all the required fonts on your PC. On Windows you can install them with the control panel->regional settings->languages. The data is already included in the windows distribution it just needs to be manually installed, you won't need any CD.

Administrative Divisions -> Countries -> Go to message
Hi Simisa

In border regions the reverse geocoding may use simplified vector information and sometimes locate a place in a neighbouring country. As you have seen you can manually fix it, there is no better solution at this moment.

Administrative Divisions -> GeoTree: How to add/correct PPL-PPLX relationships -> Go to message
Hi Pierre

GeoTree is now correctly displaying Zandrijk and Meerhoven. I have added the PPL-PPLX relation manually to the database and Christophe has fixed a problem with the GeoTree code.

An edit interface to correct the PPL-PPlX automatically generated by the reverse geocoder does not yet exist. IIn the mean time till we have an edit interface you can post the ids for PPL and PPLX you want to be corrected as tabulator separated list here and I will add them to the database.
Thanks.

General -> Country status for Kosovo -> Go to message
Hi Tobbe

A couple of users have told us they want us to wait for the official ISO country code.
ISO has not yet come to any decision, or at least has not yet released any information: http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/check_what_s_new.htm
