Hi all,<br><br>I recently discovered the site available by the US Army with millions of world geonames (towns, etc) here <br>[1] <a href="http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/namefiles.htm">http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/namefiles.htm</a><br>
<br>The OSM wiki says that there is no legal problem using it, altought we should put the source tag<br>[2] <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/SWDB#GEOnet_Names_Server">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/SWDB#GEOnet_Names_Server</a><br>
<br>Here is the XML explanations of the CVS that you can download from the link [1], <br>[3] <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_content_adding/Geographic_data/Using_NGA_data/Localization/Description_of_Names_Files_for_Countries_and_Territories_Format/English">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_content_adding/Geographic_data/Using_NGA_data/Localization/Description_of_Names_Files_for_Countries_and_Territories_Format/English</a><br>
<br>The question is ? Anybody has developed a script to convert this CVS into a KML or OSM file containing all the towns of a country? <br>This can be very useful for countries in developing countries almost empty.<br><br>
Best Regards.<br>Ivan<br>
