Certainly. I only want the most famous places, something closer to around 100k-200k filesize at the most (as my calc is only around 300k itself). If it means I have to filter yet another stage, then so be it, but then I would need to hunt for a list of the '1000 most well known places' (or similar) in the world.
Population information is also in that database btw. There is a file "cities15000.txt" which lists as: cities15000.zip : all cities with a population > 15000 (ca 20.000), see 'geoname' table for columns cheers, Derick
