Something's terribly wrong with coordinates here..

Perhaps EBT doesn't recognize Latvian postal codes without the "-"? (e.g. LV-1006 or LV1006)

Hi,

Happy New Year 2014 everybody

It have some problem with the country Tunisia Image

For this post code "4120", this is the post code from "JERBA AEROPORT"

Latitude : 33.8714889
Longitude : 10.77592500000003

Image

When I select the city :
1)2014-01-07 23:08:13 / 10 EUR / Yxxxx2958xxx / Nxxxxx Djerba ( Image Tunisie, 4120) => Houmt Souk

2)2013-07-20 19:34:40 / 5 EUR / Uxxxx5680xxx / Uxxxxx Zarzis ( Image Tunisie, 4120) => Zarzis

3)2013-06-22 19:32:52 / 5 EUR / Uxxxx6910xxx / Lxxxxx Aéroport International de Djerba Zarzis ( Image Tunisie, 4120) => Mellita

For the last one, The city Mellita are the city of the airport? I'm right or wrong?

no, this is quite normal...
every newly entered combination of place name and post code must be associated with the correct city profile first, before the entry can show any aproximately correct coordinates. The mentioned combination has been entered first some hours before your message.

Riga is a special case because there is a second profile for Riga International Airport, which makes that new combinations with "Riga" as city cannot automatically be put into the right profile, which would be the case otherwise, if the city is known to EBT but the post code is new.

If there is a list of all existing post codes and their coordinates of Riga, it could be a good idea to enter all of them into the system in advance.
What makes this more complicated is that people don't really agree on how to spell Latvian post codes, there are three frequently used syntaxes, and two spellings for Rīga, so every post code area would have to be entered six times into the profile

Someone recently changed the profile of https://nl.eurobilltracker.com/profile/?city=89214" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. It used to be correct (Municipality=Aa en Hunze; Province=Drenthe). Now it is added to the municipality of Friese Meren and the Province of Friesland. This is false, so I would like to see this being reverted. :D

EDIT: I see it's solved now, great! :D

I can't add the coordinates myself, but I've heard it's much easier if the "plotters" have a link to an inserted note (they can't use a link to the city profile).

To prevent mistakes (the name of the airports mostly have a different name as the city it belongs to) International Airports have their own city-profile.

In my browser, that city's name is "Bosque", the Spanish word for the French/English Forêt/Forest.

In most other languages on EBT it's translated too, so change the name across the database, in French it's correct already. Looks like an overzealous translation bot :)
