Mooste should have coördinates 58,157° N en 27,189° E, and Abja-Paluoja should have coödinates 58,126° N en 25,355° E.

I have corrected these mistakes. I also put them into the database, but my source ( :flag-ee: wikipedia - with a page for every tiny village) seems to have the wrong co-ordinates

Mooste
Abja-Paluoja


I don't feel like correcting :flag-ee: wikipedia :wink:

Why not use Google Earth instead? There you can get exact coördinates yourself. :wink: Thank you anyway, I was already missing these two dots! :)

By the way, Tervélez should be Trevélez

The flag of Vielsalm (B-6690) is wrong.

See this hit please :arrow: http://fr.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=94641988" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

On the city profile, we find :flag-be: and :flag-lu: :arrow: http://fr.eurobilltracker.com/profile/?city=109336" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
:flag-be: is the good flag.

Thank's :wink:

This is not wrong flag in the city profile. The user entered the note using the wrong flag. Because Vielsalm is not known in Luxembourg, the location is merged with the Belgian Vielsalm.

The only way to change the flag of this hit is when the user corrects his mistake.

The new user Moxtard made a tripple error when entering this note

- misspelling Iäkeskus. Should be Itäkeskus, which is a suburb in eastern Hellsinki
- using a wrong post code (02580) instead of the correct one (00930). 02580 is the code of Siuntio
- the third error was a good clue for finding the right post code resp. city.

So Iäkeskus should be merged with the profile of Helsinki (postcode 00930)

This note has the wrong country flag. Smeermaas is a city in Belgium.

There are 3 slight issues affecting my note data.

1) Phibsboro http://en.eurobilltracker.com/profile/?city=74471" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and Drumcondra http://en.eurobilltracker.com/profile/?city=22809" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; are both districts of Dublin city (23033). Ideally both profiles should be merged into Dublin.
2) There are at least 2 Palmerstowns in Ireland, 1 little village in the middle of Co. Meath that I never heard of before today, and another in West County Dublin. While it seems alright on the little maps, the Google Maps version puts the Palmerstown bubble thingy on the little Meath village, whereas I assume people have only entered notes from the Dublin suburb. Incidentally, on my Google EBT map the popup bubble for Dublin is way down in the Wicklow Mountains!

Edit: my map also shows the bubble for Palmerstown beside Ashbourne. The "real" Palmerstown where I entered notes from is on the N4 before its junction with the M50, also known as Palmerston.

Dublin used to be fine. My guess is there is now at least one location (city name + post code combination) assigned to the Dublin city profile with (0,0) coordinates.
My NIG stats have finally disappeared. My EBTST stats are still available.
