Yes, I had to make a change about urls in order to support locations from all around the world. lat/long ended up being the only unique thing in common. To do so, I implemented a search using OpenStreetMap. The thing is, OpenStreetMap can give several results for a given location (and rightfully so). Example with Paris: https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Paris%2C%20France. When I updated the way meet.hn handles location, I migrated all city ids like the one you mention "gb-London" to a new one using lat/long. The problem is: when users select a location, they can end up at another (close) location suggested by OpenStreetMap. To mitigate this pb, if locations have the same full name or OpenStreetMap id, I don't display them in the location selector.

Fill the form: username, city+country 2. Copy the text generated in the box below the form, and paste it in your HN description. 3. Click "Add me on the map" Optionnaly (it's recommended!) you can add links to your socials as well as some tags to showcase your interests. Why does it exist? I created this because, despite its harsh reputation on the internet, I love the HN community. I have fewer than a handful of friends who are as curious and eager to think and reflect as the people on HN. Also, the city I currently live in is more focused on industry than on technology and entrepreneurship, which are core to HN. This led me to want to meet the HN community IRL. After
