The {{man label|GetGOV Gramplet}} is designed to download place information from the [http://gov.genealogy.net/search/index GOV gazetteer]database. GOV stands for Geschichtliches Ortsverzeichnis or Historical Gazetteer. This database contians Web Ontology Language (OWL) information can include such as:
* Geographical location (lat-lon coordinates)
Instead of the default [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#ID_Format|Place ID Format numbering (Pxxxx)]] for the imported places, the GOV-id will be used as the Place ID. If additional imports are performed, duplicate places (even part of the Enclosed By) will be automatically merged.
Use the [https://gov.genealogy.net/search/extended?lang=en GOV online search form] to find the GOV-id.
