Please change the merging of Millingen (47495) from the profile of Rees to Rheinberg.
The merging of Millingen (46459) is correct.

I understand, not all postcodes in the Netherlands has its own coordinates.
But I've a question:

I've entered notes in Hazerswoude-Dorp which gave two "locations". Those are rather near to each other, but I've also entered notes in Hazerswoude-Dorp at a postcode which is lying further away from the other locations.

Will you change the coordinates of the postcode 2391 PX to N 52.077238, E 4.626768?
(I don't know if someone has entered notes as postcode 2391PX, but if so: please change it's coordinates, too)

I am sorry, due to wrong information on wikipédia the dot ended up somewhere in the ocean north of Spain and Portugal.
Hopefully these co-ordinates of wikipedia are better :wink:

And the same thing should be done with Helsinki airport (Helsinki-Vantaan lentoasema (airport)) that is located in the city of Vantaa.

Is there not a recent policy that international airports should always have their own profile?

But now the reason for posting:
I noticed the Cyrpiot hit for today, and the first enty, Episkopi, gave me a profile in the United Kingdom.
Wikipedia mentions that this village lies partly in the UK sovereign base on Cyprus, partly in the country Cyprus. Google maps puts it mostly in Cyprus. The only person with hits there uses the Cypriot flag for entering. So I wonder why this profile is part of the UK?

The profile: http://nl.eurobilltracker.eu/profile/?city=139749" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The hit: http://nl.eurobilltracker.eu/notes/?id=94146361" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (possibly pointing to the wrong end.)
My NIG stats have finally disappeared. My EBTST stats are still available.

Please split this profile into its own.

Or, if it has to be merged, it's merged with the wrong profile: then it should be merged with Eynatten, because it has the same postcode (but it's laying quite a distance from there too).

I thought the rule is exactly the opposite, since airports are not cities, but are located in or near cities, or villages.

A clarification would be really useful.

Another issue is petrol stations on motorways, or toll booths. Should they have their own profiles as well?

i'm against the practice to give airports their own profiles because they aren't real towns and they belong to some real location.
So, imho, best way to track from airports is inserting notes from ocatione where they belong and writing in the comment field "got at XYZ airport"

I don't mind if people enter notes in Brussels Airport, that profile is already merged with Zaventem, I believe.
