Hello,

Initially, I would like thanks all geonames team for their great work... It's very usefull for people.

I have a small question, I have a geoname main entry (with all fields describe on readme.txt). And I want to find bounding box of this entry. The entry can be a feature class A or P or a feature code CONT. (country, state, region, city, continent).

I can calculated the bounding box with the lat and lng and a radius. But how can I have a realistic radius ?

Based on population ? But population is not always set and depends on density...

Thanks for helping me
