FN-FORUM: REQ: Database of places/timezones

date posted 19th March 2006 06:52

Hello

Does anyone know of a database which relates places to provinces (counties,
states, etc.) to Countries and timezones? I'm looking for something
world-wide. At the very least it should cover English speaking countries
such as North America, UK and Australia. The database doesn't need to go
into minor details of postcodes and actual addresses but it must know that
there is a place called Middleton, near Manchester, in Lancashire, UK (in
GMT timezone) and that this Middleton is different to some other one. The
database doesn't need to record every hamlet, just cities, districts of
those cities and towns.

Ideally I'll be able to convert the database (to my required format), or, at
the very least, be able to use it in a .NET application. Proprietary formats
without drivers will be of no use to me.

If you can't think of a suitable database can you think a another forum
where I might get a suitable answer?
