Okay cool - how long would it take or how easy would it be to do the other countries?
As we have it right now geonames-import has to be called separately for every country that you want to import, but we'll look into adding an --all flag to enable all countries to be imported in a single run. It will take a while for the script to complete running with that flag enabled and get geonames data indexed for all countries, not sure how long though - a couple hours I'd say.
It would be good to do this before going live anyway, just to make sure the current dojos with unusual addresses work - it's not a priority for now.
This has been implemented. You have to run scripts/geonames-import.js --country=all
I tried inputting the locations of two existing dojos but I don't get any results. This is on the staging server.
This is related to what I was saying about possible "edge case" coordinates - but it seems like these existing dojos should still work. Both areas are easily found on Google maps.
First, our existing dojo in Argentina:
