Yes it is, but why?
Added value to the site. I hope it stays that way.
That is not as obvious as it maybe seems. See the quote from Nerzhul that I made in my previous post. It is the same "city" (both places are in Ukanc), it has the same postalcode (4265) and it is in the same country (Slovenia). So one location.
I've seen it. My interpretation is that the talk is about "city profiles" (data structure). I'd be happy if you (or smb. else) manage to prove that this also relates to the "note reports". I was not able to find anything useful so far. And so far I am about 90% happy with the location names I put in. 8)
So far the counterarguments were insufficient. Summary:
Vogel and other (precedential) cases prove that this can be done (even more: this is a well established practice on EBT). (argument 1). This is more precise than the alternative /& no damage is done/. (argument 2). All counterarguments to 1 & 2 I saw were based on opinion (opinions are not facts). For #3:
...there are on average more than 150 settlements per dot in Slovenia, I'd say chances enough.
This quote comes to mind: "Yesterday: atoms. Today: quarks. Tomorrow: a world without bureaucrats."
Just as it would be if someone adds the streetaddress to the cityname, that also shouldn't give separate locations.
If I enter a note that I get in Ljubljana Rudnik (1000) that should give me a coordinate in Ljubljana Center, even though that is 4km away from where I got the note. But it's not a wrong coordinate.
It is not 4 km away. It is 5 km away.

But Vogel is a mountain..............So, not a settlement (atom or quark).

Tänan :)
I was also wondering why my notes entered in Taebla say the location is Turvalepa? Afaik Turvalepa is a village in Taebla vald, or..?

This is a mistake (I will fix it).

The problem is that one note (the first note of the profile) was entered as 90817 Taeble. This the postalcode of Turvalepa (Taebla vald). Many notes are entered like this in Estonia, not really a problem. But now several users entered notes in Taeble with the correct postalcode (like you) and the database automaticly thinks it's the same profile.
The prevent such problems in the future, I always create a new profile with the correct postalcode.

If you have more Estonian problems (or other countries), just reply in this topic.

All notes entered in :flag-fi: Övertorneå 95600 belongs with :flag-fi: Ylitornio 95600. As it is now they show up in Image Övertorneå which is a different location (cross-border town).

This hit shows the problem (click the location link for Övertorneå) https://www.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=114427795" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Edit: thanks to whoever fixed it :)

Missing coordinates for :flag-at: Reitdorf, 5542 (Gemeinde Flachau).

And still no new city profile (and dot) for :flag-gr: Ελληνικό/Elliniko (22022),a small town in the middle of the Peloponnese... (this is not Ελληνικό/Elliniko(167..) which is a suburb of Athens)

Last Saturday I entered 2 notes in Münster ( :flag-de: Germany, 48161). I received these notes in a motorway service station (Raststätte Münsterland-West) (51°56' 40" N, 7°32' 54" E) near the A1-highway.

According to Google maps this motorway station is clearly situated in the southern dot of Münster (and not the northern dot as it is given on my dotmap now).

The street of the service station is in Münster's district 48161 Roxel, which is in the right dot :wink:

1114 Budapest doesn't have coordinates yet I think as it doesn't show of my dotmap. It should go in the Southwestern dot of Budapest ;)
