OLC Take-off location

Does anyone know how the OLC calculates a flight's "take-off location?"

Two 2007-05-06 European flights (Klaus Goll and Max-Bernd Klein) have Nampa
(US/8) listed as their OLC taking-off location. OLC list my 2007-05-06
flight take-off location as 7 Bays (US/8) when in reality it was Nampa
(US/8).

(Corrected the date of my flight from 2007-5-6 to 2007-5-4.)

I believe it is a straight database of Lat/Lon linked to a takeoff
name, region, country. An error in the database means the flight goes
to the wrong contest.

Some poor guy in Germany has his takeoff shows as 108 Mile Ranch in
British Columbia Canada. No use reporting it, they do not repair the
data base yet it seems. I have tried.

An email was sent to OLC-HELP identifying the errors. I received a response
this morning. They have corrected all three of these flight's take-off
locations.

When I fly out of Sampley US/9, and file a direct claim,
I get the choices of three airports close to where
I am. They list the wrong airport first and I have
to change it to Sampley. There are three airports within
a few miles and the one they default to is a mile away.
I check it every time now.
