GeoNames Forum

I downloaded the data at http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/ and http://download.geonames.org/export/zip/ and didn't see the data I could use to lookup some of the codes in the main geonames table (for example, how can I determine what a value of "01" in the "admin1_code" column means).

Columns (in the main table) that I could not find lookups for were "admin1_code", "admin2_code", "admin3_code", "admin4_code", "feature_class", "feature_code" (concatenated code including feature_class found in the featureCodes_en.txt file but what does this mean independent of class),

Did I just missing seeing this in the list or do they exist somewhere else?

Thanks,

David

As you can read in the readme.txt more information on these codes can be found in http://www.geonames.org/export/codes.html

The only "lookup tables" that aren't available in downloadable format, as far as I know, are the continents and featureclasses. The continents can be found in the same readme, the featureclasses can be extracted from the codes.html page.

If you want a "readable" format you can take a look at the resource files I use for NGeoNames.
