Hai, 2011/3/3 Subhranath Chunder subhran...@gmail.com Hi, I need to fetch some Geographical data like, the latitude and longitude of all the cities in a country, maybe grouped into states. I was wondering what would be most appropriate source for fetching this sort of data. Results in the form of GeoRSS or GeoJSON, would be preferable, but not mandatory. Is there any open source project, that can provide me with some web API or datastore which might be useful to me, in such a case? While doing my college project I have collected latitude and longitude of all cities in India. http://tuxworld.wordpress.com/2010/03/23/latitiude-longitude-altitude-for-all-over-india-cities/ the bad case is, I have pasted in pastebin. Now it has expired. I am sure, I didnt set any expiry date. Sorry for that. I need to surf my old system back for this. Once I get those files, then I will share with you.
