United States Minor Outlying Islands missing latlng data #69

Open silentDjay opened 7 years ago

silentDjay commented 7 years ago

United States Minor Outlying Islands is the only entry in the list that does not have any latlng data. Perhaps it was omitted because the territories are very, very far apart from each other and no single spot would make sense, but so are the islands of Kiribati and Federated States of Micronesia, for example, and those entries include latlng data.

If you'd like to include latlng data for United States Minor Outlying Islands, I might suggest using the coordinates of Wake Island, its largest territory:

lat: 19.3, lng: 166.633333

Love the project! Thanks much.

I suppose this is an issue for https://github.com/mledoze/countries ?

How do changes to the country dataset in that project make their way into this one?

My PR on the source project: https://github.com/mledoze/countries/pull/238

Leaving this issue open for now as I'm still interested in the answer to my question in my previous comment.

Cheers!

Hello @silentDjay Sorry for the delayed answer. Currently any changes done on https://github.com/mledoze/countries do not automatically get merged with restcountries. Currently I run a script now and then to merge the changes.
