Dear All, Do you know of a database containing a list of European cities/major towns and their latitudes and longitudes. I am trying to develop an application to calculate the distance, as the crow flies, between two points in Europe. I would be very grateful for any information. Please send replies to any of the email addresses below. Thanks in anticipation Ivan -- ================== Ivan C. ivan@clara.net or iclaudett@anglo-europe.com

United States Geological Survey; part of the US Government.
Believe they are part of the Department of the Interior, but am not

They are part of the US Government. Don't know whether they have a web
