Oops!
Maybe Bill can tell us what the correct way to replace the GEONAMES.DAT file
is...
I tried to use the EGEO_ERR.DAT file with "Ignore GEONAMES", but that didn't
work for me, so I went ahead and replaced GEONAMES.DAT itself.
Maybe your Guide is reading the GUIDE8/GEO/ directory from the CD-ROM; maybe
you are adding an "XGEO_ERR.TXT" file (FGEO_ERR.TXT for French, and so on),
and those are the places you are seeing; maybe you renamed the original
GEONAMES.DAT to something that is also getting read; maybe you have the
CITIES database from the second Guide CD included (look for an ECU.TDF, or
ECU.FDF, file in the GUIDE8 directory).
One thing you can try is:
* Rename the GUIDE8/GEO directory to something like GUIDE8/XGEO and run
Guide. All the continent outlines and place names should disappear
(otherwise that is not the directory Guide is reading).
* Create a GUIDE8/GEO/BAK (backup) subdirectory and move all the
GUIDE8/GEO/*.* files there, leaving only the GEO.DAT file (continent
outlines) and the new GEONAMES.DAT file in GUIDE8/GEO. Run Guide and see
what happens.
If Guide is using the GEONAMES.DAT replacement you should see all place
names in their local languages (e.g. "London", "Roma", "Sevilla", etc.
instead of "Londres", "Rome" or "Seville"), and pressing "+" and "-" you
should be able to adjust the map to show only the major cities (and no small
towns).
I hope some of this helps!

Asunto: Re: [guide-user] New GEONAMES.DAT replacement file available
with 60,000+ locations by population
Hi Arturo, I All,
I've successfully downloaded your new GEONAMES.DAT file, and replaced it in
my Guide 8 directory, and more precisely in the GEO directory.
But how can'I display on the screen all these new locations ? When I am in
geo mode, the displayed locations are same as before.
Thanks in advance for your explanations.
