Wrong geo coordinates #109

Closed dr0i closed 10 years ago

dr0i commented 10 years ago

Some resources have wrong geo coordinates, e.g. the German http://lobid.org/oer/74e58001-ec75-4437-bdad-2e849c571c92#! is shown in Papua New Guinea. This is a result of the geonames API lookup, where only the place name "Hagen" ist looked up. Multiple results are delivered and the first one (which is sadly "Mount Hagen") is taken as source of geo coordinates. For simplicity. Now there are two ways to fix that:

  1. manually
  2. by enhancing the lookup by taking the country into account
