Sorry, now it works.
Actually sometimes it need more than five seconds to load tags and
sometimes tags are not refreshed. I resized my windows and they were
updated.

I registered there and once registered you could able to modify them
in a google map web app.
I will try later because I found a lot of errors on my dives here in
Italy. I suppose this is mainly for lack of user contribution...
Geonames.org here I came!!!!

Just a question. Do you use GPS data to query locations?
I'm trying on geonames.org and I'm getting different data with gps and
location names.
