There were some bugs with spaces, commas,... (urlencode)
They are fixed now.

There are still some problems.

The capitals come from this list
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_capitals

The name of the city is given to namefinder.
The first item namefinder returns is displayed on the map.

At the moment there are problems with:

Paris - wrong Paris found
London - missing (found an other London)
Washington, D.C. - not found
Honiara - not found
Kuwait City - not found
Melekeok (Palau) - not found
Mexico City - not exact
N'Djamena (Chad) - found in france
Palikir (Mikronesia) - not found
Phnom Penh (Cambodia) - not found
Naypyidaw (Myanmar) - not found
South Tarawa (Kiribati) - not found
Sri Jayawardenepura( Sri Lanke) - not found
Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia) - not found
Yaren (Nauru) -not found

-------------------------

Captials in Europe are done very well (Vaduz is an exception)

In South America OSM is far behind Google

In Afrika the winner is OSM

In Asia it's mixed.
