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:

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.
