Wikipedia info can be very subjective and difficult to verify. I suspect that an open map database would be far simpler. If someone places the lat/long for the Eiffel Tower in San Diego, something's up. More subtle position errors are more difficult to detect but because people would actually be using this info for navigation and incorrect data would be a real problem you can bet people would notice unlike some questionable info which gets included in someones school report which the teacher probably would not notice as incorrect either. -- Tracy R Reed http://copilotconsulting.com 1-877-MY-COPILOT -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
