I don't think it is, or the quick fix the owner made is not working.

There appears to be a database collision.

If I search "Birmingham" the search tool returns a list including "Birmingham, UK" and "Birmingham, AL, USA" but choosing Birmingham, UK goes to https://workmode.co/birmingham which shows the map for Birmingham, AL, USA.

Maybe they could add short alphanum strings to the URLs to disambiguate (eg /Birmingham-D4F7A) or make each place it's own alphanum strings and add the name as an extra part that ultimately isn't needed (eg example.com/D4F7A/Birmingham).

I guess this is a solved problem but I don't know of a town level global naming scheme?
