Have a look at http://worldcitiesdatabase.info .
For a fraction of what the competition charges ($4.99), you get a perfectly
manageable database of world cities. It only has about 70,000 entries, which
makes it ideal for multi-level location selector scripts.
We are using the world city database from http://www.geodatasource.com and it
is working fine. It is in text format and very easy to use.

actually the geoLocator CFC will only get you to the country-level. stuff finer

mapping location from IP.
Has anyone tried globixdata.com's $158 world cities database?

It seems like it provides a decent database of world cities and their Lat /
Long. points.
Also, their lat/long data (See sample values) dont seem to look quite
