Geonames is a *really* nice service for looking up geographic locations of entities. However, it doesn't currently support getting the approximate size, bounding area, or outline of that entity. Any service I've seen just does some central point, and doesn't differentiate between city, region, country, continent.
For example, it would be nice to say "California" and either get the bounds or some rough polygon of the outline of california. What kind of services out there, hopefully as easy as Geonames, would provide that kind of info.
