		Included in the gazetteer are entries for about 165,000 place names, ranging from villages, towns, and cities to countries, regions and continents as well as geographical features such as volcanoes, bays, islands, and mountain ranges.
		The poor quality of the data in the gazetteer is also evident in the Help screens, for they include some typographical errors that easily could have been eliminated with basic editing.
		This gazetteer has the potential to be a great reference work; unfortunately, the abundance of significant errors precludes it from achieving this potential.
