First, I noticed that adminCode1 is in a fips format but in iso one in the dump. Then I made another request : [url] http://ws.geonames.org/search?maxRows=10&featureCode=PPL&country=FR&q=Delme&adminCode1=B2&adminCode2=57&maxRows=10&style=LONG&lang=fr [/url] The result is : Code:
<geonames style="LONG">

Then I request in the database for the geonames id returned :3021626 admin1_code is B2 (iso) admin2_code is 57 admin3_code is 572 admin4_code is 57171 Why in the postal Code Search admin3_code is 57171 (which is the admin_code 4 in the database?) I'm also wondering why the admin1_code format is ISO in the dump and FIPS in the ws result ? Thank you by advance Fred P.S : I have another question. If I notice a (noticeable) difference between geonames and googlemaps about the lat and lng coords for the same place, should I rely on the google one and make the change in geonames, or just send you the case for information ?]]> http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/1113.page#4866 http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/1113.page#4866 GMT Re:Differences between the dump database and postalCodeSearchJSON results http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/1113.page#4874 http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/1113.page#4874 GMT
