Wrong continent #10

Open Cipa opened 5 years ago

Cipa commented 5 years ago

Hi,

when using Novosibirsk to search for the city's country, state and continent I get Novosibirsk/ Novosibirsk Oblast / Russia / EU

While Russia is part in Europe, part in Asia shouldn't the continent be based on the city/address/a config setting, not only the country. Also Russia is ~70% in Asia so more or less I would consider it an Asian country.

Maybe something can be done to retrieve the continent for address/city/country.

For example an address in Istanbul can be in Europe and another in Asia as Istanbul is on 2 continents. Thank you
