GPS location Database

[imonline]

Hi,
I am creating a .net application where I have to identify a
location from its longtitude and lattitude. For this I need a GPS
location database.


Please let me know where can I get it.

Thanks,
NIs

If it is IP based consider maxmind.com geoip.

HTH.

Hi zb,

Thanks for the reply. But the link you gave only provides US locations.
I need it for the entire world.

Please let me know if you can help me out here!!!

Thanks,

A click on the link "Foreign Names" on the left sidebar would have
brought you what you want.

Hiu Jacob,

Thanks for the reply. Even if I follow that link I am not getting that
databse.

Am I doing something wrong?


Thanks,

You should try to read the site. Even if it does not point you directly
to what you want it has valuable information and you will find a link
to this page - http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/namefiles.htm which
has the database dumps.

You might want to try http://www.geodatasource.com for city database or
http://www.ip2location.com for IP geolocation.
