Some of the markers for the components of the WHS Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France seem a bit off.

- The marker for the église Notre-Dame de Tramesaygues should be a bit further north, in the village of Audressein: 42° 55' 48" N, 1° 01' 26" E

- The marker for the Basilique Saint-Just de Valcabrère should be to the east, near the village of Valcabrère: 43° 01' 42" N, 0° 35' 05" E

- The marker for the Basilique paléo-chrétienne de Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges & Chapelle Saint-Julien should be more to the north, near the village of Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges: 43° 01' 41" N, 0° 34' 28" E

- There seems to be no marker for the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges: 43° 01' 36" N, 0° 34' 16" E

It's there in our list as #12, but the location is very wrong (will change)

Some more remarks for the markers for the components of the WHS Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France:

- The marker in Rabastens is not completely right and should be a bit more to the south: 43° 49' 16" N, 1° 43' 30" E

- The marker for the Hospice du Plan et chapelle Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption in Aragnouet should be more to the west: 42° 46' 51" N, 0° 11' 42" E

- The marker for Église Saint-Blaise de L'Hôpital-Saint-Blaise has to be in the village: 43° 15' 05" N, 0° 46' 10" W

- The marker for Abbaye Saint-Jean de Sorde should be to the north in the village of Sorde-l'Abbaye: 43° 31' 44" N, 1° 03' 17" W

- The marker for Église Saint-Jacques de Cotdoussan should be in the village of Cotdoussan: 43° 02' 55" N, 0° 01' 25" E

The Rideau Canal according to the official map has way more locations than we show. Basically all locks are named explicitly. I added Ottawa but having all of them exceeds my time today.

I think the location for Silk Roads / Luoyang should be centered on the site, not on the gate. Right now we flag the entry.

Was this an official location?

It has "only" 6 locations, of which 1 is a huge linear one along the canal that captures all other named sites.
A core zone map would make it clear but it is so hard to do I skipped it on my rounds of Canada last weekend.

If someone has time, we can add all named locations as POIs. That would also demark the core zone. The core zone itself is straightforward. I would only show it if there were parts beyond the immediate canal area.

Clyde brought the Atlantic Forest South-East to my attention.
The UNESCO website lists 25 locations, although for 4 of them no coordinates are given.
We list 20 with coordinates.

Probably we can find "community identified" locations for the following 4, so they can be added:
18 Serras do Arrepiado e Tombador Wild Life Zone -24.91068 -47.97223 (Serras do Arrepiado
19 Mangues Wild Life Zone
21 Ilhas oceanicas Wild Life Zone
22 Roberto E Lange Turistical Preservation Zone & State Park -25.329786, -48.867486 (source)

(UPDATE: we cannot find the other 2 listed above, maybe someone else can; they are also not listed on the Portuguese language Wikipedia for example; the nomination dossier is present but is a total joke)

And the 5th one is:
17 Serras do Cordeiro, Paratiu, Itapua e Itinga Wild Life Zone
This also did not have coordinates on our old website, but UNESCO has (now).
So will update.

It also may point to a wider issue that "empty" locations (WH locations we know exist but no coordinates are known) do not show at the new website. I will make an inventarization how many of these exist and then discuss how to handle them

Found some time to do a query on the old database to have a look at this. Fortunately it is not a big problem, 9 WHS are/were affected.

They can be divided into several groups:
1. Site location(s) had no location coordinates where the UNESCO (now) has them available: Al-Ahsa Oasis (5 locations), Hawraman/Uramanat (1 location), Coa Valley and Siega Verde (1 location) -> I have now added them to our maps
2. Site locations where UNESCO also has no coordinates available: for Atlantic Forest South-East (3 done, 2 still unaccounted for) and Ancient Merv (8 done), we have recently added community-identified locations instead
3. Sites with Incorrect UNESCO number of Locations: 6 Asante Traditional Buildings nobody knows what or where they are. To be added to that list/connection have to be the 2 marine areas shown in the list on the UNESCO website for Ogasawara. They do not show as separate locations on the map, they are likely just surrounding waters of the islands. In the nomination file, only one "marine area" is mentioned, without coordinates as well, and apparently just to show the size of the marine area versus the terrestrial area.

The remaining 2 are the dramas of:
- Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin: all coordinates now seem to be available; I will add them when I have some time to spare (+43)
- Frontiers of the Roman Empire: all coordinates in the German section now seem to be available; I will add them when I have some time to spare and can make a script (+163)

Shoot... Spa Towns shows the removed components. I must have missed them when we migrated.

Could it be that these were not picked up?

I have two remarks concerning the Afghanistan map:
- it contains the core zone of Tugray Forest, an WHS in Tajikistan.
Is that a mistake or does it have a purpose?(same is e.g. true for Iguaçu in Brasil on the Argentina Map)
- a dot for Ai Khanoum (Former TWHS) could be added at N 37.164722 E69.408611
Then Afghanistan would be completed for the moment.

I was looking at the Philippine Baroque Church of La Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion.
Its formal location seems wrong (both on official website and ours) at 17.369056, 120.481056 (it points to a school and a methodist church)
I will move it to the Wiki location of 17.366667, 120.483111
However, it is still hard to match it with the sketchy official map to map its core zone

- The marker for the collégiale Saint-Pierre La Romieu, Gers needs to be in the village of La Romieu: 43° 58' 53" N, 0° 29' 54" E
