Is the Country Correct? Sometimes web pulldown menus can be accidentally selected and changed
Try this   Make sure the Country pulldown menu has the correct country selected  
       
We may include begining or ending parts that differ from how you know the city name.  

For example, you try to match a city named Tahoe. There really is no city named Tahoe.
Or you enter Tahoe City which is a real city, but not quite like our database knows it.
You can use the wildcard character "*" to help find cities.

 
Try this  

For example, enter *tahoe* for the US, and you will match the cities below to choose from
    South Lake Tahoe
    Sunnyside-Tahoe City
    Tahoe Vista

 
       
We may not always include begining or ending parts the same as you know the city name.   For example, the city Mexico City is known in our database simply as Mexico.  
Try this   For example, if you typed Mexico City and had no matches, try to enter
*mexico* and you will match the capital city of Mexico

Enter plain characters instead of special characters. For example, to match München, enter Munchen Many international names contain characters such as ß, á, î, ñ, ü, æ. For example, Munich (in English) is spelled München (auf Deutsch). Although we display names like München, keyboard entry must be in plain character equivalents to the international character.
Try this   Enter a name like Munchen not München
Do not enter multi-character sequences like Muenchen. The only character that requires 2 character is the German character ß which must be entered as ss
   
Does the name contain separator characters such as
    - a dash character
       a space character
    ' a quote character
You do not need to enter separator characters in city names such as. For example,
Flavigny-et-Beaurain uses a dash ( - ) character
Saint Moritz uses a space character
'Afula 'Elit uses both a space and a ' character
All of the following variations will match Flavigny-et-Beaurain
       Flavigny-et-Beaurain
       Flavigny et Beaurain
       FlavignyetBeaurain
Try this Don't include spacing characters. Use the simplest form of a name such as FlavignyetBeaurain
   
Does this city possibly have common parts and variants?

Many city names contain common parts and variants. For example, in France, names contain common parts like Grand, Petit, le, la, or les.
The parts may vary by local usage, for example le versus la, some regions reverse the order of some parts. For example
     Le Badeuil is also called Le Grand Badeuil
     Le Barial is also called La Barial
     Flavigny-le-Petit is also called le-Petit Flavigny

These common parts and variants exist in many languages, not just French.

Try This Reverse the order of some variants. For example, FlavignylePetit instead of lePetitFlavigny
Use variants (la instead of le)
Or to be sure, try the wildcard character "*". This character matches any text. For example,

*Barial* will match Le Barial, Le Barial, Les Barial, Le Barial Petit, Le Petite Barial and perhaps many other names. But at least you can find the match you want..

We may not have the city name for this country

We have over several million city names worldwide including cities smaller than populations of 200 people. However, there are some countries with a limited number of cities.

Hint - The Country pulldown menu shows the number of cities we have for that country.

If the search feedback tells you that all city names are listed, look carefully for your city name. Remember, they are alphabetized within States or Provinces. And the city name might be a variant of the name you entered for matching.

Try this If you still cannot find the city you want, then use our button to "Add City" to our database.
   
There may be an error in our database The city name could be missing, mispelled or simply spelled differently than expected, or it could be misclassified into another State or Province or even Country.
Try this As a last resort, use the wildcard * character as much as possible with some piece of the city name.
If you still cannot find the city you want, then use our button to "Add City" to our database.
