What a great idea!
Tangkuban Prahu and Krakatau both both in Indonesia it are not in.
The data base is a bit illogic the Merapi in Java is listed as Gunung Merapi, and there is Gunung Bromo. Gunung means mountain. Keli Mutu another mountain in Indonesia is lisred without Gunung.
To most tourists these Indonesian mountains are known without the Gunung. So this may pose a problem when people want to find these mountains.

Hello Marianne,
you can add mountains which are not in the same way as cities. Go to the report writing forumlar and on the right hand site is a blue "globo land" icon. Click on it and suggest the mountain. It will be added as "globo land" you found inside your profile and included into the data base.
About the illogical part. I am not familar with the mountains in indonesia, it might take a while till we adjust some places, just like with the cities.
Best regards,
Andy

I requested to add this mountain: Tangkuban Perahu to the data base.
And I made a mistake. I added it the first time as a city. The reason is that when I got the bar to fill in my entry, I clicked on "mountain" then I got another menu and had to select country etc. I did not realise that I had to click 'mountain' again, because the little dot in the marker had gone back to 'city'.
If more people make this mistake, your database will be in chaos.
Hope this is explained clearly enough.

Just to let you know that I entered two mountains as new mountains, not yet included in the database. i got an email back telling me that these were not cities. I eneterd them as mountains not as cities.
