GeoNames Forum

Hello, I need geodata for my current projekt.
I want to find out as much information of a point as possible.
adress,street,postalcode,Town,adminsistrative area,region,county,continet

If the point doesn't belong to a continet i want to get the ocean and/or island's name as output.

I need all information in German and English language.
The Google API I tested, but i missed informations about the continet.

http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?key=keyhere&sensor=false&ll=51.498795123312085308953,8.131518959999084472656&spn=4&hl=en

The next question is, for what are the lat/lng boxes of a country used?
Does it make sence to save them in my database? Is it allowed to save recieved informations?

The only way to make the data usable is to save it, because if i don't do so the processing of a page would take years

Thanks for your answers.

Frederic

GeoNames is free to use, you can save it and do what you want. However, it would be nice to give credit to the project with a link or some other reference: http://www.geonames.org/export/
