E.g. Россия should show Russia (Google Maps finds it correctly), however on http://www.geni.com/map the location of this person is shown in Greece for some reason. The same is happening for a number of other non latin character locations (e.g. Украина - Ukraine)

  Artem - I just tested Россия as a location, and it showed on the map as being in Russia. We are using the Google Maps API for this feature, and I believe that this was a bug on their side that has been resolved sine you filed this ticket. If you notice any other locations not working, you can either file a bug report with Google directly, or file a bug report here and we'll report it to Google.
