Bulgaria polygon data We received this ticket a few weeks ago. Quote The other day I was looking at the maps of my finds and noticed a bug in the Bulgaria county map. As you can see on the attached picture there are three green counties and actually I have found caches in only one of them - the one on the right which is in Varna region. In fact there is a county with the same name in Ruse region too :) As I know you use Openstreetmap data for your boundaries I took a look at the data in OSM and it was a mess. Counties tagged with different admin levels all over. Data is now corrected and should be all fine. In Bulgaria there are 28 regions - (admin level 6) and 265 municipalities (admin level 7). Preview and download is available at: https://osm.wno-edv-service.de/boundaries/ I have now updated the polygon data, and yes, OSM is now working properly. Earlier we had a mix from different admin levels with exceptions and so on. Quite a mess. Now it was clean and simple. Admin level 6 for regions, 7 for counties. I couldn't see any difference on the maps, but number of counties increased from 262 to 265. https://project-gc.com/forum/read?6,10724,10724#msg-10724 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 04:36:01 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?6,10724,10724#msg-10724 Bulgaria polygon data https://project-gc.com/forum/read?6,10724,10724#msg-10724
