jakebur01 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I need a suggestion. My site will have international users. One of the features the site contains is a world map of all of the members in little red dots. This map uses long / lat coordinates. I downloaded a 800mb flat file that contains all towns in all countries and their coordinates. I figured I would also need to make the sign up form fields drop down menus pulling from this same large table instead of giving them the option to type in their city, etc. Before I go with this method? Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way to do this? I am really bad about complicating things. It seemed like a lot, storing all of the world data in my MySQL database. What do other people do? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/146424-solved-international-geocoding/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebur01 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Should I upload my own table data or use an api like yahoo or google? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/146424-solved-international-geocoding/#findComment-768754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
