The current co-ordinates for these Berlin postal codes are :

10115 : 52.5371,13.3969
13051 : 52.5159,13.3771

.....quite different than the links above :wink:

Wow, then 13051 is way off! It's a major suburb in Berlin, so please correct it. Thank you.

My entry of notes in Fons :flag-fr: were automatically put in "this" Fons, because it was (until now) the only place entered.
I've changed my entry to Fons (Lot), because it's in the Département of Lot, so it has its own profile.
But can you make that if someone entered the note as "Fons" with postcode 46100 will be added to the new location?
(allthough: if it's NOT redirected, I'll stay there longer as "main user" :wink: ).


And because you're busy with it's profile, you can add the coordinates as well: 44.664685,1.951404 (which is the restaurant, where you have the most chance to get notes).
For the citymanagers: Fons (Lot) is a city and community in the Canton of Figeac-Ouest, the Arrondisement of Figeac, the Département of Lot and the Région of Midi-Pyrénées.

Only département is important - as that is the main region division of France.

This profile: http://it.eurobilltracker.com/profile/?city=180694" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; has to be merged into this already existing profile: http://it.eurobilltracker.com/profile/?city=147751" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks.

Re: Incorrect dots and inaccuracies among city profiles

I don't know if this is the right place to post it, because it may be nothing to do with the coordinates......
I just entered notes in Oliana, Ponts, Cervera and El Bruc.
These cities already existed in the database, the dots also appear (not only on the dotmap, but also on the Google-dotmap), but what I don't understand is why all these cities aren't pointed at the Google-map. It's not when I select "Auto", nor "Location" nor "Cities". They should appear with at least one of these choices, shouldn't it?

Further I want to ask you something which IS within this topic:
Pas de la Casa (Andorra) is part of the community of Encamp, but it's that far from the village of Encamp, that I would like to ask you if you can give it its own coordinates.
Because in this street are a lot of shops, restaurants, hotels (so a lot of place where you get your notes from), I would suggest 42.543627,1.732922.

as far as i can see the communities of andorra (= 7 parishes (parròquies), see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parishes_of_Andorra) are treated as regions in ebt (see encamp). pas de la casa already even has its own city profile (within the region encamp) and therefore also its own coordinates assigned to.
My profile
22.9.14 90. :note-200: entered
9.9.14 50. :note-500: entered
17.8.14 300. hit occured
12.8.14 550. :note-100: entered
28.7.14 5000. :note-10: entered
16.11.13 3 years of EBT
10.9.13 25000. note entered
30.7.13 15000. :note-5: entered
23.7.13 2500. :note-20: entered

Indeed it has its own cityprofile, but I wonder why I can see (on my Google-map) the locations of almost all the other locations in Andorra (with the number of entered notes there), but this one I can't (one other isn't shown too, but that's because it's a new profile: it hasn't got coordinates yet).

I thought (because I couldn't see the location) it was:
  • either plotted at the same location as the profile of Encamp (and therefor not seen because there was already the point of Encamp with my number of notes there), OR
  • it has an avarage location (so an avarage of more coordinates), why it's plotted out of my view.
In my point of view, in both cases the coordinates "should" be corrected.

But there might be a third reason, why I can't see the location in my Google-dotmap. If so, please let me know....



BTW: I can see "my" Spanish spots now: both as "city" and of "location" (the Andorra-spots I see are "city-spots").

There are 20 combinaties within the cityprofile of Image Pas de la Casa. Three of them don't have co-ordinates, 16 have (the wrong) 42.619,1.539 - and only has the correct co-ordinates (42.5422,1.7354).

I can't change it now (no time), but I'll check it after the weekend.

:lol: I (or better Hans) found some notes in Stroe but the database thinks it is next to Barneveld, but it is very close to (neighbour village) Oosterland (Noord-Holland). Is it possible to make a city profile for this village? :mrgreen:

Spanish city profile for Santa Ponça contains the following locations:
  • Santa ponça (07180)
  • Santa ponca (07180)
  • Santa Ponca (07180)
  • Santa Ponsa (0000)
  • Santa ponsa (07180)
  • Santa Ponsa (07180)
  • Santa Ponsa (07814)
  • Santa ponsa (7002)
  • Santa Ponsa (MALLORCA)
A user recently introduced a note in Santa Ponça, and the system didn't recognize it as belonging to this profile, thereby creating a new one, even with a matching 07180 zip code.

I understand the reason why this could happen, but I think the detection/search algorithm could be improved to handle this case (for example by ignoring capitalization in locations, or maybe looking into the profile name).

I'm leaving it alone for you to see, profile IDs are 87387 and 180895. Will fix it next week.

I've just entered some bills I registered in Valladolid, Mexico (Yucatan State) and those were joined to the Spanish city of Valladolid. Same name, different countries.

Hello, I found a type mystake that generated a ghost location in Italy.

Oisa, in Pisa department, Italy... simply does not exist :arrow: http://it.eurobilltracker.com/profile/?city=71043" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If you look to the zip code :arrow: http://it.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=8822432" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; it is just the former zip code of Pisa (56100), and because the O and the P are close, on the keyboard, I guess that we could remove 56100 Oisa :flag-it: and transform it in 56100 Pisa :flag-it: .

Thank-you
