I believe there is an error in the article from cosmocode: http://www.cosmocode.de/en/blog/schoenborn/2010-01/24-free-geo-data-solutions-compared-geonames.org-vs.-yahoo-geoplanet
It says that Yahoo GeoPlanet does NOT Provide Geo coordinates but this link from GeoPlanet does show coordinates: http://isithackday.com/geoplanet-explorer/index.php?woeid=2500105 Perhaps GeoPlanet has been updated since the cosmocode article was written. -- Bernie Connors, P.Eng Service New Brunswick (506) 444-2077 45°56'25.21"N, 66°38'53.65"W www.snb.ca/geonb/<http://www.snb.ca/geonb/> From: discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Landon Blake Sent: Friday, 2010-10-08 14:30 To: OSGeo Discussions Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Yahoo Geoplanet Versus GeoNames I found this web page useful.
