[FOSS-GPS] An introduction and sourcing maps

[Dean Ashby]

Hi Pranav,

This site might be of use. It has the complete files of geographic names
information covering countries or geopolitical areas are provided in a
tab-delimited text format for easy download.  It is is quite detailed, and
includes not just the names of populated areas but also other physical
features such as mountains and rivers.

Hi Brian,

I have been gravitating towards your approach. I was assuming that
openstreat maps had the data I want. Those images have to come from
somewhere. <smile

I am in India and as far as I have been able to determine, there is no city
data. So, I can get latitude and longitude data from states and major cities
but nothing relating to the neighborhoods inside those cities.

Pranav
