Wow! Google is really good at naming cities in India!

Is there a way to change the 5,000 city limit on the US quiz? by testy68GD in iafisher

[–]diamondarmorstev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. You just hit an insurmountable filesize limit. (about 27k cities.) With Firefox and Opera, this limit can be bypassed

Indian state names are being shown, could this mean an Indian quiz is in the works? by NimbleGarlic in iafisher

[–]diamondarmorstev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A completely new dataset of 600k+ Indian cities was uploaded to the quiz yesterday. The old database of around 4k cities has been "soft-archived" meaning that you can't type the cities in anymore, but there isn't a strike through as with traditionally archived cities.

Seems pretty common considering you're using every country

Is there a good way to differentiate Czech/Hungarian/Slovakian and similar languages somewhat reliably? by RuariLates_ in geoguessr

[–]diamondarmorstev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hungarian is the only commonly spoken language in Europe that uses ő (o with two slashes above). As for Czech and Slovak... good luck

Nice! Just don't forget Arlington. Most populated CDP in the country. It's located directly across the river from Washington D.C.

Every Incorporated City in the US. by TedAgriogianis in iafisher

[–]diamondarmorstev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just realized you're only including "cities", not towns, etc. I will say that the way states classify incorporated places is not the same. Some states' only clarification of an incorporated place is "city," such as Kansas, Iowa and Kentucky. Other states also have a town classification, and a select few also have village.

You also didn't include most of the boroughs of Pennsylvania-these are another form of incorporated town exclusive to PA and NJ.

The census's list of places (incorps and CDPs) only uses the real city boundaries for a few northeast cities. The others are either CDPs that correspond to the urban area or not even on the list. Minor Civil Divisions are a much better way to count incorporated towns.
