Global Gazetteer: new url, new web site, more data I now have a new web site and specific url. You may like to bookmark the following: http://www.allm-geodata.com This includes a full description of the data that I hold about world locations, some of the uses to which the data has been put, names of some customers, detailed statistics on the data and sample files for download: Statistics will be updated shortly, and I shall be putting some sample pages from my e-document on international postcodes and address layouts. In recent months I have added more data, including Estonian (new system), Malaysia, Indonesian postcodes, as well as increasing the number of populated places considerably. The GLOBAL GAZETTEER is the ultimate world gazetteer, essential for anyone requiring point data for mapping, address correction, etc. It contains over 3.5 million places (and 35K ports and airports, many with runway lengths), but has unique selection capabilities to provide only the exact amount of data required for your project objectives or budget. Settlement data is enriched with administrative area, population, postcode, height, area, telephone dialling code, administrative function within country (e.g. is the place a provincial capital, or lower level seat). There are over 1.1 million postcodes on file, as well as some 290,000 places with precise populations. I also have details over 80,000 administrative areas throughout the world, with similar information, including the capitals of the areas. I am actively looking for resellers for the data, and would be very pleased to talk about terms and licensing agreements. Other services include international address correction, geocoding, and the supply of international geocoded social and economic statistics.
