Dayr al-Zafaran (place/69) is not in Iran.

Can you figure out why that is happening?

It's part of the original data from AWMC apparently. Creating a ticket for it here allows ppl to add pointers to places with erroneous GPS coordinates as they find them. I would recommend just deleting these coordinates as we find them, since they are not really asserted by the print GEDSH in any form. I don't know how they got into the AWMC data while the GEDSH print maps still show them in the right place.

Interesting, we could ask AWMC if we want to.

Decided simply to delete erroneous latitude and longitude from AWMC because we're the only consumer of that data.
