Jalisco Mexico puts it as that of Tepic Nayarit |
Organic Maps, believes the "Jewish Synagogue of Florence" while, in fact, it is in Via L. C. Farini: 6, Postcode 5012, Firenze (= Firenze), in the Province of Florence (*) (*) Note: the title "Province of Florence", abbreviated as "FI", was officially abolished in 2014, and substituted with the more bombastic title of " Città Metropolitana di Firenze" but it is just an invention by bureaucrats, who couldn't find any better pastime; but in the common parlance of us common people, it is still La Provincia di Firenze. The error is quite serious, and risks to offend to the famous pride of Florentines: believing that Florence, the capital of the Region of Tuscany, belongs to the Province of instead of being the Provincial capital of the Province of Florence (or the Metropolitan city of Florence, in the parlance of bureaucrats since 2014) as it is, = is like believing that, in Canada, the City of Victoria, the Capital of British Columbia, is in Alberta! |
Another issue #5439 |
All current region borders are located in data/borders in

Another issue is that some current borders are outdated.
There are some existing issues related to holes in borders: #511, #729, #857, #1596, #1859, #2156, #3617, #3813, #3827, #8118
