This city (Saint-Paul) should be located 8 km west from Beauvais (60000 - Oise). :wink:

The coordinates on record are 46.4078 N, 1.3892 E.
Google maps seems to locate "36170 La Châtre" somewhere north of St-Benoit-du-Sault, at 46.4575 N, 1.4232 E, while it is actually south of it. I won't check what coordinates you are quoting because you did it in the wrong format.

The same goes for the preceding post.

If you click at Wikipedia normaly on coordinates, you will get a Geohack-site, where some different formats (eg. decimal) are shown!

But it is also possible to calculate it very easy:
x°y'z'' => decimal: x + y/60 + z/3600

Yes - that is not a problem of the city profiles, however, but one of note entry. :roll:

What happened to the city profile of Burghausen?

Wrong dot on the city profile (correct is 48.1667N,12.8333E)

And the name "Burghausen (Salzach)" sounds really strange (actually Burghausen is situated at the Salzach, but that name is extremely uncommon. "Burghausen" would be better (there's no other stand-alone commune) or, if you want to, "Burghausen (Oberbayern)" (as used for the train station).


And BTW please merge Çolakli and Çolaklı.
("Çolaklı" is the correct turkish spelling)
