Hello,

Could you map the combination 91321 Trenčín, Slovakia to dot south of Trenčín city center? There are already 91321 postal code with other cities/villages on that dot. Combination 91321 Trenčín does not exist.
Now the dot goes to dot where the city center is.

Would the coordinates be 48.863086107782614, 18.020460774769273 ?

Thanks to the good person who plotted Strathblane, he or she missed another one I added, though, Balfron. If they could be so kind... :wink:

Didn't miss the place :wink: As I couldn't find Balfron (G53 0TE), I plotted Balfron (G63 0TE) with these coordinates: 56.0713, -4.3374.

Thanks, apparently, I mistyped the postcode, or maybe I couldn't read the number correctly on the little ticket. Anyway, I corrected it.

Hello,
could you please look at how dots are assigned in Sofia? I entered few notes from West Mall in 1336 Sofia (example), which spreads across two dots west and north-west of city centre, but apparently 1336 area dot was assigned to centre as well.
Thank you.

Done! I believe it is in the correct dot now. Please check (but you might have to wait a few hours).

Thanks for caring, petox.

This location (Sofia 1336) didn't have any geocoords assigned yet, so the system was just averaging other assigned coords in Sofia.

I was in Strasbourg and went to this Auchan that's just above the other dot but it put it in the below one (where I already had registered a note)
apparently because there is no way to determine from the postal code where the exact location should be?

to optain the dot you have to change the location to :flag-fr: 67000 La Robertsau.

Yes, La Robertsau is part of Strasbourg. You can enter notes using the name of the neighbourhood of the city. Those places will be assigned to the profile of city.

So, entering a note in La Robertsau won't allow you to get the dot located north of Strasbourg, will it ?

Places are defined by a combination of country, postal code and city. They are assigned to the profile of the city (which is shown on EBT) and can have different coordinates.

:flag-fr: 67000 La Robertsau has coordinates 48.6029, 7.7926.
