Re: Has anyone used Geonames without webservice?

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

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 implemented it?

 

I have the db setup and basic model / controller to test out queries, but my way takes much longer than the webservices version so just curious if anyone has had any success?

 

Thanks,

 

Dave
