Hello guys,

I already use GeoNames database on my site. It's really great.

I wonder where can I get similar database with coordinates (lattitude and longitude) of center point of all countries? Is there such database?

Hi Alexey

Why don't you use GeoNames for the country lat/lng? (Hint : look for featurecodes PCLI.)

Cheers

Marc,

I've searched here (I already use some of these dbs), but I didn't find lat/lng of the countries here:

Solved. I used small database, so I did not see coordinates of countries.

Thanks Marc.
