Hi again,

I just discovered world cities service by Geonames:

http://www.geonames.org/export/JSON-webservices.html#citiesJSON which
takes following parameters:

north,south,east,west : coordinates of bounding box


How can i map getBounds() return coordinates into mentioned
directions?

Thanks

/A
