Location problems

Jason, Please include Coral Bay just south of Exmouth on the Western Australian coast, and just north of the tropic of Capricon,

amazing backpacker place with mindblowing coral reef, shame its not on the list...even though it shows up on the map if you zoom in.

Cheers, Tom

Will do.

For some reason, the city database we're using doesn't have very good coverage of Australia. Zoom in on southeast asia and you'll see every little village marked, but Australia is missing some major places (at least from a traveler's perspective.) I think it's because the data was compiled by the US government back in the '70s, and is thus skewed to focus more on places we might want to drop bombs.

But yeah, I'll stick that place on the map for you. Thanks for the feedback!

Done. Fixed up the location on your blog entry and photos too. Sorry again for the lameness of our Australia data!
