GeoNames Forum

Hello, I have a question:
I need to setup a timezone lookup service/query locally on my own server (I am prohibited from accessing the internet and using the geonames public webservice for the project I am working on). I need to set up a timezone lookup based on lat/lon. How can this be done using the downloadable Geonames database data? I wouldnt need a full-blown xml webservice, I simply need a database setup/method to query the db with lat/lon values, and return the timezon info.
Please help...

The timezone service is not using the GeoNames database. At the contrary the timezone service is used to enhance the downloadable database.
