Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Please add these cities Rovaniemi, Finland 66.29N 25.41E Åbo/Turku, Finland 60.30N 22.19E Tammerfors/Tampere, Finland 61.30N 23.50E Oulu, Finland 65.01N 25.29E Helsingfors/Helsinki, Finland 60.15N 25.03E Tornio, Finland 65.50N 24.12E source: http://www.mapsofworld.com/lat_long/finland-lat-long.html And Tromsø, Norway at 69°40′N 18°56E
I have a question about Åbo/Turku and Tammerfors/Tampere: do these names indicate two alternate names for these cities, or are they each the full name of the city? If you have given two names for each city, can you advise me which name I should use in the database?
These are two names for the cities. The former is the original name in Swedish. The latter is the subsequent fennicization (sp). The Finnish cities were all founded under Swedish rule and Swedish is still an official language. Oulu is also called Uleåborg. Tromsø is also called Romsa in the other official language there, N Sámi. Further north, the territory was Finnish. I'm not up enough on politics to sort this one out. A guess would be to use Rovaniemi, Turku, Tampere, Oulu, Helsinki, Tornio, and Tromsø and see who hollers.
Would help if you could tell me what DST rules for these cities are. I've been unable to Google them out. Currently, I'll leave them without DST prespecified.
Tromsø has the same rules as for Oslo. The Finnish cities (Rovaniemi, Turku, Tampere, Oulu, Helsinki, Tornio) have the same rules as for Helsinki.
SVN commit 897786 by asimha: + Adding / Updating coordinates of cities in Finland / Norway. Many of our city latitudes / longitudes seem to suffer from a Degree (decimal) to DMS conversion error. I think the best solution for this is to wait till we move to MarbleWidget. BUG: 139221 CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org M +6 -3 Cities.dat WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=897786
