Re: [developers] File with list of cities, latitude and longitude.



Salam,
This has the same issues as the other website Sahir gave, the data is too large!
I might look at filtering the data for my specific needs.
Wassalam.

There's a lot of publicly available data at the NGA website. I can't
find the exact link right now, but it should be buried somewhere under
here: http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html
I had downloaded a several hundred MB file from there several years ago,
it contained just about every city with its WGS84 coordinates.
Unfortunately I don't have it now.
