Locations help (Australia)
« on: April 22, 2017, 08:29:38 am »
Hello, Can anybody please assist with creating a compatible sql file for Australian regions as the current data is extremely poor.

I have obtained from geonames a reliable list of city information and need to know how to use it to replace the current geodata.

It is poor, i agree. But not only Australia, other countries also.

I have tried in the past to find an easy way to share country data but didn't got any help or replies here. A way to easily export and share.

But now i have created my databases manually (most of them) and given up on all this. Pitty that Osclass team doesn't care to update theirs.
