Hi, This is pretty vague as a question, and there are a BUNCH of ways to go about it.
I would suggest the Maps API <https://developers.google.com/maps/> as a start. In general, asking about "best" possible way is VERY dependent on your use case, so this is pretty much impossible to answer. Do you want it to only contain certain part of the world, or have access to everything everywhere? Do you need it fast, do you need it free, do you need it reliable? to which %? "best" becomes easily subjective and the best solution for me (saving the couple of cities I need, with the relevant hierarchy, in datastore for fast retrieval) might not work for you (using the Maps API as you want something more flexible) If you could include more details about what exactly your needs are, chances are a better answer can be given. In the meantime, I think Maps API is definitely worth looking at. Cheers!
