I'll take a look tomorrow, also is possible to change the source to use google map if you have an api key for Google maps

[jespino]

I'm generating the geocodes for all the cities here #743, I haven't had any problem about that.

[scraly]

I have again some troubles when I am running tje geocode script in GitPod:

Unable to get geocode for location:  Jailingo (Nigeria)
Unable to get geocode for location:  Norwitch (UK)
Unable to get geocode for location:  Ondina (El Salvador)

@jespino do you know why I have these issues and how to solve them on my side?

thanks :)

[jespino]

@scraly part of the problem there is that OpenStreetMaps is not able to resovle all of them, I can say you that Norwitch is not resolved properly bo OpenStreetMaps, because in reality it is Norwich. For that I added the option of using google maps API code, because Google Maps is better golocating in that cases.

[jespino]

The last one, is because I think it is "Salvador (Brazil)", so "ondina" is just a neigborhood in salvador. Looks like Ondina is not a city in "El salvador".

[jespino]

The Jailingo problem is because in reality is "Jalingo". So I fixed the "Ondina" and the "Jalingo" problems in the PR #755, and the Norwich problem was already solved in another PR

[scraly]

ok now I understand for these ones, and I think it can be added in another automatic check when the PR is created

if we have error in output of this script, maybe the location is wrong ;-)
