If you select Ireland as your location and search for Coleraine it appears to interpret it as the Republic and not the whole island! It then only finds Coleraine Co Laois and puts the flag on an empty stretch of road. Presumably it's just the name of one of the nearby farms. The registration district of Coleraine will be the area around the town of that name on the Bann estuary near the north coast. -- Ian The Hotmail address is my spam-bin.
