Yes, I can have a database containing continents, countries, states and cities names. I could able to get some paid versions of such data as well.
All I want to know is, is Google is providing any such API to get the names of continents, countries, states and cities? or Is it the only way of having to create a database with all the names and use? or is there any other way to achieve this? Kindly help me in this.
