In Sweden, some small towns have the wrong name in Yahoo Maps. In cases where a small town is the administrative center of a municipality of a different name, Yahoo prints the latter name instead of the town's name. This is the case with Fjugesta, Kinna, Kisa, Åseda and Österbymo. Here is an example, where "Kinna" is called "Mark" by Yahoo, http://maps.yahoo.com/index.php#mvt=m&trf=0&lon=12.694&lat=57.507&mag=4 and where Google does it right, http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=57.507,12.694&spn=0.04,0.04&t=m -- Lars Aronsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
