Depends in part which cities you need! If they are only the larger / more obvious, then you could try PC Globe or World Atlas for Windows. DB. ---------------------------------------------- Wed, 3 Nov 1993 07:46 EST <JSHANTON@USGSRESV> RE: lat/lon software Are you interested in establishing the Lat/Long or being able to call up the city and getting the Lat/long from a file of data? If the later is your need you are partly in luck. The US is available as a data file from the USGS, Earth Science Info. Center, 507 National Cntr., Reston Va. 22092 At the present time it is only available on 9 track tape, but will hopefully be a sales item after the first of the year on CD-ROM. The initial word on cost is $57. This file is called the Geographic Names Info. Sys. (GNIS) it includes everything that is named on the USGS topo. maps. All features, towns, physical features and the like. Info on the CD of GNIS includes such things as the Lat/Long-name of topo map/s its on-elevation if established, etc. For the rest of the world there is a set of gazetteers available at various pric es for the countries. These are available in paper copy from the USGS Distributi on cntr. in Denver. Contact me at 703 648-5935 and I'll send to you the catalog of available gaz. John Shanton USGS-ESIC 507 Nat. Cntr.
