Polar Stereographic Projection

noiv — GMT

I've build a Daily Arctic map using tiles from NASA and showing the North Pole with a Polar Stereographic Projection. There are 4 zoom levels available (mouse wheel). http://exploreourpla.net/explorer/?geoLink=1650 I want to show as many features as possible (glaciers, places, ice shelfs, etc.) and started with the cities web service. However, the north pole is often included in the bounding box and then the maxrows parameter seems to be ignored - far too less hits. In case North Pole is not included cities in the lower left corner of the screen seem to have an strange priority. http://exploreourpla.net/screens/1650.jpg Is there a way to improve the behaviour and have all features up to maxrows equally distributed over the map? Many thanks for any help. --noiv

Re:extendedFindNearby and cities

Hi Marc, I've searched around in different countries and now it looks like the city level is always missing. Of course, I've not checked the whole planet, so I would be happy, if you could proove me wrong. Is there a possibility for a systematic error? If I remember right the cities level was included some time ago.

I like the extendedFindNearby very much - it gives users an orientation down to the details they know. But sometimes the level of cities is lacking. Example: Geneva: http://ws.geonames.org/extendedFindNearby?lat=46.2022156980098&lng=6.14569187164307 and a few streets to the east: http://ws.geonames.org/extendedFindNearby?lat=46.20383445303909&lng=6.1544036865234375 in the latter the ADM1 (Canton de Genève) is followed by a PPLX (Eaux-Vives) Is it possible to have Geneva in between in the xml?

Genial wäre ein Fallback, der beim Überschreiten der Limits auf den offenen Server zurückgreift. So bleiben die Dienste auf den Webseiten im Erfolgsfall benutzbar.

Ich auch, wenn die Zugriffe dann gleichbleibende Antwortzeiten rund um die Uhr haben, ist das eine tolle Sache. -- noiv

Wow, service is now more responsive and answer leaner. :)

Re:Codification issues

Hmmm, only one last point: Code:

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

as the first line of anything else in PHP. If this not helps, I have no more ideas, except install everything again :( Lo siento mucho.

Re:Codification issues

Well, I see. Same browser, same charset, but different results. Which code produces bottom screen? Have you tried a minimal approach like: Code:

 echo "";
$res = mysql_query("select a row from the table");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($res)){ echo $row->name . "
";}
echo "";

with charset and doctype of course?

My remote diagnostics capabilities are limited, need more details to give help....

Re:Codification issues

When you do nothing special with PHP (e.g. multibyte) it send strings to your website like they are found in the database. Did you tried to tell the browser to use a special charset? Does the browser use UTF-8?

Hierarchische Einteilung?

Siehst du einen Möglichkeit, die Daten weiter zu strukturieren? Sind solche Daten überhaupt verfügbar und können diese aufgenommen werden?

Der Hierarchy Service gibt zu vielen Ländern Admin Daten zurück, für Deutschland z.B. Bundesländer. http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/82.page#245 Funktioniert sehr gut....

Wow, all tested IDs returned correct data. Can I help to make the relation country -> contintent?

Cool idea, I second that!
