Greetings I'm doing a small tool to calculate distances between cities. I mean, I enter City of origin geographic position and city of destination geographic position and I calculate distances. The thing is, everytime I have to check at GOOGLE Earth a city position and it's getting to be a long a heavy task to do. I realized that, this guys http://www.assemblysys.com/dataservices/db_details.php?db=3 are distributing a database with cities geographic positions but this is PAID :( . What I wanted to know is if there is any tool/software/database free, open source where I can do exacly the same without having to pay for that. And even, maybe add a few cities positions and contribute to the project
