-- Where can I find lat/longs? (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=3036)

I want to add a few cities to the World time app, and it wants latitude and longitude coordinates (presumably so that it can locate the city on the map). Does anyone know of a website (or other device) that I can use to get the lat/longs for a given city?

Go here: http://zipinfo.com/search/zipcode.htm

Check box the "Latitude and Longitude", and type in the city name.

If you're good with a very small map and a stylus, you can just poke the city you want. Try it. I don't know how many cities are in there, but just pressing the city on the map puts it in for you, and I be the one you want would be there.

Hmmmmmmmm......

I don't think the search engine on the zipcode page works for places outside of the US. I'd be interested, as well, in an international longitude/latitude server.

Try a world atlas at your local library. (My wife is a librarian, so that's our default answer.)

Maybe this will help: http://www.bcca.org/misc/qiblih/latlong.html

Not sure about world cities, but the US Gazeteer from the Census Bureau has loads of US entries in it. The most convenient interface (for me) is the unix command line client to the dict server at dict.org. Or just use the website:

I've used indo.com's "How far is it?" page for quite a few years.

(you'll have to put in two cities, but it's usually a very quick query)

Wouldn't a globe work?
