What does a GeoNames Ambassador do? A GeoNames Ambassador helps us with questions regarding the administrative division of a country. An Ambassador helps us find data sources for a country. Potential sources are the postal services, the statistical office, the national mapping agency, the army, local universities, genealogy groups, and many more.
