Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity
If you type "Cambridge" on the timezone page, you get, among other things, "Cambridge (England, United Kingdom)" shown twice. http://geoname-lookup.ubuntu.com/?query=cambridge reveals: {"name" : "Cambridge", "admin1" : "England", "country" : "United Kingdom", "longitude" : "0.116670", "latitude" : "52.200000" }, {"name" : "Cambridge", "admin1" : "England", "country" : "United Kingdom", "longitude" : "-2.366670", "latitude" : "51.733330" } These two places are: http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_52.2_0.117.html http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_51.733_-2.367.html The first is the well-known one, where I live, and the second is a rather less-known village. I'm used to there being two since rail timetables and the like typically have "Cambridge, Cambridgeshire" and "Cambridge, Gloucestershire" on them. I think the best fix for this would be for the administrative divisions within the UK to be counties, rather than England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland (what Wikipedia refers to as "constituent countries", and I've never really heard a better term for them). I don't know if the data we currently get from Geonames allows for this. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- typing "Cambridge" on timezone page shows two indistinguishable towns https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/646825 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
