Vranjina, Montenegro

coordinates: 42.272812,19.123363

(the location will certainly be used again in the future: degustation place for "Plantaze"-wines, departing point for boat excursions, big restaurant, ....)

In France there's:
  • Lac Chambon, near Chambon-sur-Lac, a community in the departement Puy-de-Dôme. wiki googlemaps
  • Lac de Chambon, near Chambon, a village in the community of Éguzon, in the departement Indre. wiki googlemaps
  • Lac du Chambon, (no village with the same name), in the departement Isère.wiki googlemaps
I entered notes in Chambon (Éguzon, Indre). The city profile seems to be indicating the right spot on the map. But when I zoom in on the googlemaps dotmap, with 'locations' checked. I see the marker of chambon way out of the dot of Éguzon. About halfway between Chambon (Éguzon) and Chambon-sur-Lac. So maybe these city profiles have to be splitted.

(I couldn't find the city profile of Chambon-sur-Lac.)
To support this story I've added an image from GoogleMaps:

The marker that shows Chambon, isn't even close to the location I visited this summer (indicated by the red oval). Can this be solved?

Because there are different communes with the same name in different départements. Par example 40170 Bias and 47300 Bias. If the one in Landes is much bigger than the one in Lot-et-Garonne I admit it isn't nessesary to give them both a form of Bias (Landes) / Bias (Lot-et-Garonne).

For some reason :flag-de: Kindsbach 66862 lost its location. I entered notes there almost two years ago, and in the last month the dot vanished.
The location EBT gave earlier was 49.4200 N, 7.61385E.

Can we get a flag change here? Ristiina is in Finland, not Switzerland.

It is just the way how this bill was entered. Mara entered this bill as Ristiina, Switzerland.
It is however in the right city profile and has the correct coordinates.

It is up to Mara to change the bill. He/She made the hit so he/she was aware that the location details are wrong. Sometimes there are silly people......

Okay, that kind of make sense with regards to user integrity and all. If the hit was with me it would make me crazy though.

Katwijk an Zee should of course be merged with the correcty-spelled city profile of Katwijk aan Zee.

This is not Leer (Ostfriesland), but Leer in Nordrhein-Westfalen (southwest of Steinfurt), Germany.

Your notes have now co-ordinates are are inside the profile of Horstmar (NRW), the way German profiles are build up. In fact you there we're already notes entered as Horstmar-Leer in that profile.

The german way of placing several different cities into 1 profile is wrong and everyone knows it.
