Place Name Update

Zach Guffron · 06-30-2005, 08:11 PM

I think it's good idea if ww developer or some one provide a place to post corrected place name.
Example; Lapajting=worldwind://goto/world=Earth&lat=-4.34008&lon=119.88596&alt=4488&dir=-1.9, should be Lapajung (

who care?), but it's important for use in education. I want every body outside their place get the correct place name.
In my country (probably others) in last 2 years there are more the 4 new place.
(And Timor-Timur/Timor Leste is not part of Indonesia any more).

I know there are so many mispelled or misplaced or even new place around the world. Out of date. Therefore, it's not easy to edit or add the place name in database.

My be in txt format or other format so it can be merged with other's corrected pn.
Or ww developer provides some mechanism so everybody can post their corrected & new place name. Any idea, please............?

BUT who's responsible in Geonet names?
