Some countries have more than one...

Some countries have more than one town by the same name. The US, for instance has two Portlands and nine Spring Valleys. Some countries just go nuts and name everything the same. Try searching on "Guadalupe" in the World Browser for an extreme example.

There's not really all that much we can do about this from a data standpoint. I have some ideas for improvements to the mapping to make it easier to figure out which Guadalupe is which, but it might be a while before I get them into the World Browser.
