I'm in South America and the nearest location is a cafe in Amsterdam. Is this due to a small data set or does it set you in Europe/North America by default?
I don't think it is, or the quick fix the owner made is not working.
There appears to be a database collision.
If I search "Birmingham" the search tool returns a list including "Birmingham, UK" and "Birmingham, AL, USA" but choosing Birmingham, UK goes to https://workmode.co/birmingham which shows the map for Birmingham, AL, USA.
Maybe they could add short alphanum strings to the URLs to disambiguate (eg /Birmingham-D4F7A) or make each place it's own alphanum strings and add the name as an extra part that ultimately isn't needed (eg example.com/D4F7A/Birmingham).
I guess this is a solved problem but I don't know of a town level global naming scheme?
Yes it is, the places are submitted by users of the website.
Places are fetched from Google API when there are no places on Workmode.
Turned this off tho, for now, because it slowed the backend
