Geonamesin

Geonamesin is a project and a database that provides a large collection of geographical data. It aims to offer a comprehensive and freely accessible resource for names of countries, cities, towns, villages, and other geographical features, along with their corresponding latitude and longitude coordinates, elevation, population, and other relevant information. The data is sourced from various public domain sources and is constantly being updated.

The Geonamesin database is structured to facilitate easy integration with other applications and services.

This flexibility makes it a valuable tool for developers, researchers, and anyone working with geographical information.

One of the key features of Geonamesin is its focus on open data principles. The data is made available under a Creative Commons attribution license, encouraging its widespread use and contribution. This collaborative approach helps to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the database over time. Geonamesin also provides a web service API, enabling real-time access to its geographical data for dynamic applications. Its global coverage and rich dataset make it a foundational resource for a wide range of geospatial applications, from mapping and navigation to data analysis and scientific research.
