RE: MI Looking for European city points

[Warren Vick, Europa Technologies Ltd.]

Hello John,

No place size indicators at all in DCW and VMap0 (unless you count the fact
that larger places are spelt in capitals). The other problem with DCW data
is that there are no accented characters which is quite a problem for
Europe.

We have a European gazetteer in our Map Elements product family with over
73,000 graded places - cost $845. This is just a point gazetteer - if you
need reference mapping instead, take a look at the Global Insight products.
