Hi kstars devels,

translating kstars I found this somewhat ambiguous data in Cities.dat:468:

Calais/Dunkirk : Pas-de-Calais : France : 
50 : 57 : 36 : N :   1 : 57 :  0 : E : 1.0  : EU

In the wikipedia/gg.maps etc I found this:
Calais   50° 57′ N, 1° 51′ O / 50°56′53″N 1°51′23″E
Dunkirk 51° 2′ N, 2° 23′ O /  51°02′18″N 2°22′39″E

The distance between Calais and Dunkirk are around 35 km (says Marble :)).

Seems the geo data is more suitable for Calais and this entry should be 
changed?
