Hi Jean-Frédéric, Op 13-6-2011 11:38, Jean-Frédéric schreef: Looks cool! A coordinate is better than no coordinate at all. From that point on we can start improving coordinates. We need of course somehow to indicate that the coordinate is derived and might contain errors. On the other hand: The coordinates we get from sources also contain errors so there is no real difference. I do wonder if the error rates are about the same. Maarten

You can pull the addresses and coordinates from the monuments database at the toolserver [1]. You can either do it at the Toolserver or use the mysql dump to do it at your own computer.

Strainu, We put a tool to manually fill in the gaps, where we use the technique of positioning as near as possible using municipaly, district, Portugal with gmaps API). If you're willing to manually fill in the coordinates, I can pass you the code (you should adapt it to you database schema, though): http://wlm.wikimedia.pt/tools/plist As a quick start, I'd suggest you to get a dump of wikipedia and import some coordinates from templates like {{coord}}, etc, although the optimal would be to get lists from official sources.... -- Nuno Tavares Wikimedia Portugal http://www.wikimedia.pt Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano.
