Subject: Re: Has anyone used Geonames without
Just wondering is anyone has used the geonames database with cake but with
own database, not thru webservices?
I know it's a monster database in size but I do not like the idea of using a
service that's not on my own server. If it goes down then it affects my site
so just curious if anyone has
I think it's difficult to download all the stuff in local and how do you
maintain?
I think google map api is your best choice. What you can do is save the
unique query( keyword and resolved lat,lon ) in database so that for popular
places you don't always have to go to web service
.

Unless you find a way to cache the query results the queries are going to be
slow - specially if you are doing precise calculations. Another trick would
be to use your database only as a fallback when the webservice is not
available
