Hi, no, geonames doesn't provide a service for mapping placenames. But geonames delivers you the placename cooridnates in the WGS84 (EPSG:4326 resp.) system, so that you can map them in geotools. (Of course there are also a lot of other tools...) In short all you need is the geonames java library and geotools. With geotools you do the mapping stuff and with geonames you find out the coordinates of your places.
Hope that helps! fx5900 wrote: > > Hi thanks, > > I found out that with geonames, they do not have software to map the > names to maps in java.
