Two locations from my previous weekend's tour through southwestern Styria haven't yet been (correctly) placed:

8510 Rainbach is not identical with Rain (Niederbayern) in Germany; it's part of the municipality Marhof in the district of Deutschlandsberg, coordinates are about 15.190536° E, 46.903183° N.

8572 Piberegg (a municipality in the district of Voitsberg) lies to the north of Köflach and has coordinates of about 15.089511° E, 47.089011° N.

Como sempre em cima do acontecimento!
Eu é que fui preguiçosa e nem me dei ao trabalho de verificar onde poderia ser, mas pelo código postal, suspeitei que não deveria ser muito longe de minha casa. Pode ser que assim os ajudes.

As always, you're following everything!
I was just lazy and didn't bother searching where that place might be, but by the postal code I suspected it oughtn't be much further from my city. That might be helpful, then.

Hmm, now it seems to be located in Yemen, which is better than being nowhere at all, but not much. ;) Presumably north and east were exchanged?

's-Herenberg needs to be merged with 's-Heerenberg

But indeed with the four numbers and two letters you will know exactly which street it is, most of the time even a part of a street.
Meeh. Helsinki has 88 :twisted:

EDIT: Actually 00990 /does/ exist. So, by my counting the number should be 89 (00100 to 00990)

These ones don't exist in Helsinki:
00110
00220
00450
00460
00470
00480
00490
00540
00590
00890

This would mean we've got
79 postal codes here, losing to Amsterdam by ONE! Aaargh!
However, if there are even two postal code numbers in Amsterdam that are not used, then Helsinki is BETTER! :P
To make you happy: The postal codes ending on "0" (if they are avaliable) are always only used for PO-boxes. So there you can't get any notes.

Allthough I entered my note here in July last year, I only see now, that the dot came on the wrong place:

Breezand lies much more to the north: the right coordinates (at least according te Google Earth) are: 52,8890027 N and 4,8050055 E

That would lengthen this hit (is the only hit with Breezand) also :wink: .

Streets

Post by B I V O L »

I have 1 question for EBT programmers, moderators and all of you:

my great wish is to writing names of the streets (as additional option and not required) inside cities or smaller places - of course with coordinates, which should be writen from each user with his/her imported bills :idea: . More and more people have own GPS devices, so this shouldn't be to hard and we can find coordinates on many web sites. I think in this case will be less 0 km hits.

I want to know, what can you say about this :roll: :?:

Could it be merged with Banneuxwijk ?
