Shifting my concern over to this thread, which I had thought was concerned with the "Places" feature, not generic map/place name issue, although I was apparently wrong...
I see a couple of threads already on this, but the ones I found were closed. Is there a process to deal with incorrect place names? For some photos I took recently in Belize, they're coming up as a town in Mexico around 60 miles away. Not even the closest town in Mexico.
Here's an example of what I mean... The picture was taken just off of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye in Belize, and it comes up with "Othon P Blanco, Quintana Roo" in Mexico. However, this picture taken from the mainland shows up as "Belize, BZ", which is interesting since the place name often doesn't show country, and here it is twice. :-) I suspect that should be Belize City, BZ.
Just not enough GIS data for Belize?

I searched for my village on Places and there are only 12 photographs...
On a normal search (Search Everyone's Photos) from the home page there are 669 photos of my village!
I think flickr needs to change it's slogan to, "Flickr WAS almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world."
The new map system is nightmare... please can we have Map v.1 back?

The new map is not intuitive, and extremely confusing. Where are the directions?
I am an administrator for a group, and I used to enjoy looking at photos by zooming into a smaller geographical area, such as by continent or country.
It is nice to know which photos in my group are the most interesting, but which photo’s belonging to the group are the most interesting for only South America? Or Scandinavia?
In other words, how can I geographically narrow down the search for photos within my group, there are too many photos.

Search for Crestline, Kansas
You get this answer:
Gosh.
It looks like no one on Flickr has ever taken a photo in Crestline.
While I have a number of photos geotagged there. For example, this one: flickr.com/photos/baresilver/2092166540/in/set-7215760339...
Also, when searching for Webb City, MO
It says there are 102 photos geotagged for that location.
I have 19 photos geotagged for this location. Since that is nearly 20%, I would assume that at least one would make it into the ribbon. None of them have, and many in the ribbon appear to be quite old.
These two are just examples, but this seems to be the pattern I am seeing for every town I have geotagged in.

My Franklin WA set www.flickr.com/photos/vikis/sets/72157603520340939/ is accessible through the map, but if I search for Franklin WA in Places, it takes me to Washington Missouri! Franklin WA is an abandoned mining town. A few locations it is close to are: Black Diamond WA, Veazie WA, Kummer WA, though I believe Black Diamond is the only actual 'town.'
My Covington WA photos are accessible through the map geotag for the photos, but if I do a search for Covington WA, (incorporated 10 years ago), I'm taken to Covington Illinois. My Covington WA photos show up when doing a search in places for Kent WA. www.flickr.com/places/United+States/Washington/Kent
Some are in Kent. Most are in Covington.

Hi, just want to report a new problem with some photos in Japan. Photos in the Myokokogen area of Niigata Prefecture, when geotagged, were previously correctly identified as being in Myokokogen.
When I now geotag new pictures or alter the location of existing ones in the Organize/Maps area, they all now appear as "Taken in Shinano-machi, Nagano Prefecture" - this is of course incorrect, wrong town, wrong prefecture. Why are the photos now being misclassified when they were fine before? Is there a way to overwrite the geographical classification your system applies to the photo when it isn't correct?
Example of a misclassification
www.flickr.com/photos/simondavies/2149075872/
and one in the same town that was correct on the old system

...basically, the entire San Fernando Valley.
Also: Apparently, any picture associated with the word "Burbank" was taken in Burbank, California (like this one that was actually taken in San Jose).

I have also this problem that I was trying to find photos from Siikajoki, Finland. System says "Gosh. It looks like no one on Flickr has ever taken a photo in Siikajoki." but I myself alone have over 140 photos in that place.
(I was trying through this shot ).
Another thing is about how to get a group to show up as a regional group?

I placed my photos at the site on the map where I took them. This was at Prentice Park in the city of Ashland, WI. But the label the map gives to the site is Lac Courte Oreilles Indian Reservation, which is many miles away to the southwest, near Hayward, WI. What I can do to get the location labeled correctly?

Oh, and I just noticed. In that map above Siikajoki is placed to a wrong country tough the local map shows the right town - still that view is also grown old. Siikajoki was combined to Ruukki year ago so the view is not from the center of Siikajoki anymore. How do you actually manage these small and distant places that never stop to change?

At my mothers account was tried a geotagging. The part of the list that says "non-geotagged photos" gave a message "no photos were found matching your criteria". The thing is, all the pics should have matched that criteria since no photos were geotagged before this and it was the first time this user accessed the geotagging action.

When you first unveiled 'places' a search for Bollington brought up two results, identically names "Bollington, Cheshire, UK" and both linked to our town, Bollington (SK10 5). Now, however, both link to the same name but the page/map features Little Bollington (WA14 4). I'm guessing there should only be ONE Bollington, Cheshire, UK (SK10 5) and ONE Little Bollington (WA14 4).
Bollington is quite a big town in the Macclesfield borough, so we are quite sad to not have our own 'place' anymore.

The "taken in" info on photos taken in Finland is pretty inconsistent. I have three photos taken in Tampere, Finland, which show three different taken in infos:
Kaleva, Western Finland (Kaleva is a district of Tampere)
Tampere, Western Finland
Pirkanmaan maakunta, Western Finland (Pirkanmaa is a province of Finland)
Some of my photos taken elsewhere in Finland show really obscure place names. Especially on the countryside the old village names are pretty useless in helping to locate where a photo was taken. Your places search lists for instance 24 places called "Myllykylä" in Finland and 10 places called "Jokikylä".

[Previously posted as a new topic, but moved here on the suggestion of zrcster]
I know this issue has been raised many times before, but all the threads I found on this were closed. At least one from a year ago mentioned improvements coming "RSN" (Real Soon Now) but I still see problems. This may be better in some regions than others, but here in Massachusetts, USA, I am finding real problems. And it's a problem of precision along borderlines -- it's pictures taken in the center of one town showing up as being in a different community entirely.
This makes the display of location name nonsensical -- showing a photograph of the Beverly train station as taken in Salem, and the Wakefield public library as taken in Melrose.
So here are my questions --
Are there improvements coming soon?
Is there anything we can do to report errors, or at least correct them for our own photos?
I know how to set the privacy for location information for individual images, but is there a way to turn off the display of the place name without turning off the link to the map? The map is accurate and helpful information, even when the place name that displays is misleading.
When improvements come, will they fix place names automatically, or will we have to do something? In other words, will Flickr load or point to some improvement place name table and my mislabeled Beverly pictures suddenly display as Beverly, or will this only make new ones display correctly?
Thanks in advance for any help on this...

Elizabeth - can't answer them all, but Rev Dan Catt has said in the past that as long as you place your photos on the map in the right place, they'll keep up with the periodic improvements to place names. I.e., as they figure out where Salem starts and Beverly ends, eventually the right photos will show as being in the right places.
As for timelines, this is just a guess, but I wouldn't count on any sudden change and then everything will be fine, but on incremental changes over a much longer period. Take the problems you're seeing in your part of the world, and multiply them over the rest of the world, and you can start to see why it's not a quick fix, and why you'll probably still see small problems even after some changes take effect. Could be worse, though – up in Canada's north it's got a few non-existent towns, and in some places it doesn't even register you're in Canada, let alone anything more precise, it just comes up blank!

Thanks!
And I'm really not trying to be difficult, but if the location --> name translation is so problematic, I wish there were a way to retain the location and lose the place name.
For example, on this picture: www.flickr.com/photos/ethomsen/2223924341/
I'd like to retain the link to the map, which I think is a useful thing, but I'd like to suppress the " Taken in Salem, Massachusetts" label, which is wrong and confusing.

Hi!
I am not sure if this is the right thread to post this in, but...
I geotagged a photo of mine yesterday that I took on Alberta's Icefields Parkway, or Highway 93. The "Additional Information" section now tells me that the photo was taken in Columbia-Shuswap, British Columbia. Sorry, but that's the wrong province!!
Here's the photo's page: www.flickr.com/photos/castelmar/44927513/in/photostream/
It has been correctly placed on the map (which fits snugly with satellite shot too), so somehow the location software does not recognize the BC/AB border that lies to the west of this spot by about 5 miles (or 8 kilometres if you prefer).

I'm a member of a small, newish group called River Names of Britain in which members post pictures of named British rivers. Everyone does their best to geotag their photos, in the hope that the associated map will eventually pinpoint all the rivers that have so far been submitted to the pool. But when I checked yesterday I found only something over a quarter of our photos showed up on the map. I have 56 photos of my own there: they're all geotagged and I can't find any of them on the map at all. At first I thought I was doing something wrong, but having a quick scroll through this topic I'm beginning to think it's just because Flickr is still figuring out how to use these maps and geotags to their full potential. Is there anything else we can do, apart from waiting until it works properly?

Earlier I posted a problem with places here:
www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/65179/
But I just found this thread so here is the content of the post again where it is more likely to be seen:
[snip]
I've just uploaded a bunch of geotagged photos that I took in Dahab, Eqypt but they are incorrectly being identified as existing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
For example:
www.flickr.com/photos/vitch/2236105462/
If you look at the Tabuk, Saudi Arabia places page ( www.flickr.com/places/Saudi+Arabia/Tabuk ) you will see that three of the four most popular tags are from Dahab ("dahab", "egypt", "sinai").
Is this a solvable issue or is it just down to the granularity of places data outside of "important" areas?

Not whether this is the right topic but:
If you take a look here, you are looking at a places page for Alphen aan den Rijn in The Netherlands. The places page calls this town 'Alfen', which is plain wrong. The map on the page does mention the proper name of the town though.

I'm not sure whether this is the appropiate topic to post this, but anyway ...
The map incorrectly tags some photos taken (and put in map) in "Melilla, Andalucía" (Spain) as being taken in "Beni Enzar, Nador" (Morocco). I've put up a test set for you to see this, which has been arised too in this topic in the Spanish forum.
There's a lot of "hot" feeling regarding this bug, so it would be mighty fine if you could repair it.

My home city, Târgu Mureş appears as Tyrgu-Muresh.
I can understand, that URLs need to be clear of accented characters, but why force that on the name as well?
Also, (at least according to Wikipedia) Tîrgu Mureş (from what it was probably "translated"), is a deprecated version of the name.
Intrestingly enough, on the map attached to the "place", the name appears correctly. Although without accents, but that's really not important.

Fusaka: the interesting photos selection doesn't only rely on geotags, but also tries to find interesting normal tags associated with the location. If it decides "Quebec" is one of those tags, it could throw things off in exactly the way you describe.

Today, I uploaded a photo ( www.flickr.com/photos/fcrozat/2311138478/ ) but I realised I forgot to geotag it (using GPS EXIF data) and then I re-uploaded it using the "modify" feature and geo data on flickr for it seems odd : picture has been taken in Brussels (Belgium) and on the maps, it is set in North of France. I've checked GPS data (50,840214N 4,356550E) and they are correct for Brussels.
Moreover, I uploaded a bunch of GPS tagged photos in the previous days ( www.flickr.com/photos/fcrozat/sets/72157604025233966/ ) taken in Brussels and they are correctly geotagged, so I think there is a issue in the "modify" upload.

I don't know if this is the right place, but I wanted to bring up a couple of mislabeled places on the map.
1) I've uploaded many photos of my old house in Manorville, New York, but the map tags the place as Moriches, New York. The dividing line between Manorville and Moriches is Route 27, which is just to the south of my old house. I know I grew up in Manorville!
Here's an example:
www.flickr.com/photos/joeshlabotnik/2207101340/
2) Photos from Peter Island in the British Virgin Islands are tagged on the map as being on completely different island. (Either Tortola or St. John)
Here are examples:

I thought that Flickr was implementing a more accurate map database. My pictures taken in Bloomington, MN are still showing up as Long Meadow Lake, MN. And some of my photos well into Dallas, TX merely say "Dallas County." (those used to say Dallas, Texas). Judging by the above posts, it looks like Flickr still has a good ways to go here. This is sad, since I personally enjoy the map feature.

JoWiJo and all with regard to inaccuracies. Yes, we still have a number of location inaccuracies that come from the original map sources that this is built on. We won't be able to correct these right away. We know it's still an issue and has been since it was launched. We do have plans on something to help take in corrections, but just not yet.
@CollenM- Yes, island designations are problematic, and Aran Islands are one of them. (A number of islands elsewhere have no labels on them.)

Hi guys,
Is it just me or Flickr's geotagging feature isn't very accurate? I entered my cousin's address into the map and it outputs the place as Malden Massachusetts even though it's in Medford Massachusetts. It does appear that Flickr located the right place, but it's odd the place is in Malden even though it's in Medford.
Also, does anyone here know how to remove the GPS data that was saved with Flickr's map feature? I think I'll start over with the geotagging process using something else instead.

when i place the photo on the map where my parents house is, it used to be correct and displayed "Pucking, Upper Austria". Since a couple of days, every photo i place at the same spot get a "Linz Airport, OO, AT". this is wrong, because the airport is more than 10 km away and "Pucking" is a "Gemeinde" of its own (That is something like a district in Austria). So the correct map name should be "Pucking, OO, AT". Actually it should be "OÖ" (with an Umlaut) if it's short for "Oberösterreich".

I hope this is the right forum to post this in...I've read of this problem in other closed topics, but haven't found a concrete answer for it.
I have a pro account, & have been active on flickr for 3-4 years, my account has been reviewed as safe, and yet my geotagged photos do not show up in Places map.
There is a comment at the bottom left hand corner of the places map that reads...
Not enough people have added their content to the map of Nome for us to feature members in the area. If you have photos of Nome to share, you can add them to a map using Organizr.
with this in mind, it seems the nome alaska map isn't too crowded, so I would think mine should show.

ra64, on the places page for Nome, if you type the word barge into the search box your photo turns up. It's just a question of continuing to geotag your images. The more you add, the more likely they will turn up on the place page.

I'm not really sure if this is still working, but I geotag almost all of my pictures, including ones taken at my house and friends' houses. However I have spent a lot of time adding locations to all my pictures, and while they used to have the correct location listed, now they show the wrong places, even though their location on the map is right.
Examples:
flickr.com/photos/starbuddie/2554979033/
Shows up as Downstown, NJ, only there is no Downstown, NJ, at least around here. This particular location on Forest Grove Road has a mailing address of Vineland, NJ, but is a part of Franklin Township. Mailing zip code 08360.
flickr.com/photos/starbuddie/2555804862
Shows up as Bala Cynwyd, PA, which is in Montgomery County and a few blocks away. This is actually Philadelphia, PA. Zip code 19131.
flickr.com/photos/starbuddie/2566818074/
Shows up as Malaga, NJ, which is a few miles away. This is actually the Borough of Newfield, or simply Newfield, NJ. Zip code 08344.
Hopefully this is in the right place to get it fixed, if not please move it to the proper thread! Thanks!

This is a very widespread and very frustrating problem. Whatever service Flickr is using to translate from geographic coordinates to place names is really not working well.
I use the free program GeoSetter to geocode most of my images before uploading them to Flickr, which I do so that my original image on Flickr will retain the geographic information. (I also add other information, like the title, description, copyright, etc.) With GeoSetter, you find the location on Google Maps, add it to the image, and then click on a button to pull in the location information from the web. For all my images, this information always seems to be correct
But when I upload the image to Flickr, many of the locations provided by Flickr's look-up are just wrong, even for pictures taken in the middle of a town.
I wish Flickr would switch to a better information provider, like whoever GeoSetter is using. In the meantime, I wish I had a way to retain the link to the map (which is accurate) but suppress the place name display, which is inaccurate and misleading for a good percentage of my images. (I know -- post it to the Flickr Ideas group!)

I have a slight different angle to the problem. I geotagged a few photos, and I do find them when looking for "Falun Sweden".
On the photostream though it spells the city name as "Fahlun".
It's just an aestethic problem in the stream IMO since it works with the right name when you search for it, but will ite be fixed? And is this the right thread for this problem?

Okay. I'm just another tiny voice in this whole forum here, but here goes.
I geotagged all of my photos. Some of them came out great and I have no problem. However, the one's I posted for my home are coming up with the wrong city. I live in Mesa, AZ and it says I live in Sunview, AZ, a place which Google Maps says does not exist. All of the photos taken father out from my home say Mesa, as they should. Here is one of the pictures I'm refering to: www.flickr.com/photos/violahowl/2691153278/
I also tried geotagging a picture for Greenville, TX and it came up as Mineral Heights! Example here: www.flickr.com/photos/violahowl/2625757514/
I know this is wrong. I have lived in both areas! What's the deal-y do and how can it be fixed?

It's been well over 3 weeks.. I don't see anything that's been rolled out from yahoo on correcting our own locations..
Or it is hidden somewhere and I just haven't found it?
