Gazetteer
Our gazetteers include the global coordinates of each item in latitude and longitude degrees.
The term gazetteer originally was applied to one who wrote a gazette. It was first used in its modern sense early in the 18th cent., after the publication (1703) by Lawrence Echard of the Gazetteer's or Newsman's Interpreter, a geographical index.

GPS is a satellite-based radionavigation system developed and operated by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). GPS permits land, sea, and airborne users to determine their three-dimensional position, velocity, and time 24 hours a day, in all weather, anywhere in the world with a precision and accuracy far better than other radionavigation systems available today or in the foreseeable future.
Gazetteer
Pronounced " gazitr".
A gazetteer is an alphabetical listing of place names, political divisions, and physical features of the Earth. Entries include such items as cities, countries, rivers, and mountains and give some descriptive or statistical information about each item.
Now you can provide your users with standardized lists of choices for entering data. For example, without a comprehensive list of cities, user-input location data quickly becomes a nightmare. Assuming your users make no spelling errors you can expect the user-provided location data to vary greatly. Just consider:
New York, New York USA
New York, NY USA
N.Y., N.Y. US
And the list goes on!
These are all "valid" entries which represent the same physical location, but from the database standpoint these are all separate and distinct locations. Using our World-wide Cities database this problem is eliminated! Users can be presented with a standard and complete version of any place name, thus producing a more reliable and meaningful dataset.
Product Features: Entries include the officially recognized name for the feature as well as any variant spellings; the region and country in which the feature is located; and the geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) in decimal degrees that locate the approximate center of an aerial feature or the source of a linear feature. Some database products also include additional information
