I'm looking for a way to take a list of US based lat/lon pairs and determine which state they are in.

The web based query example found at <http://ws.geonames.org/countrySubdivision?lat=47.03&lng=10.2> produces the type of result I want in the adminCode1 XML field.

Is it possible to have a local copy of the US database and perform this type of search? The computer does not always have access to the Internet.

Regards,

Tim

Hi Tim

The service is based on polygon boundaries. Search the web for the boundaries of your interest. For the US there is plenty of information available.
