I'm trying to work out a method that works for all contries.

It would be a great help if you all could show me previews
of what complete addresses look like in different countries.

In Denmark it's like this:

[Name]
[Street] [Number]
[Postal code] [postal district]
[Country]

[Postal code] is a 4 digit number which is always attached
to a postal district

[Postal district] can be a village, for example "Silkeborg",
or a part of a town, for example "Esbjerg N." for the North
part of Esbjerg. It can also be a tiny island for example
"Anholt".

So what's it like where you live?

I thought of including this in the POV-Ray User-Base form:

Country,
Nearest major city,
Postal district,
Postal code/zip code,
latitude and longitude.

Wouldn't that be sufficient? Would it work for all countries?

BTW, I'm sorry I haven't replied to all the messages.
I don't have as much time as I wish I had.

Greetings,

Rune S. Johansen
