Detailed Description

This class parses and utilizes a subset of the information from the GEOnet Names Server.

See http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/ for the description of the data and the raw data files.

From the 700 MB of raw source files, a compact 'GCF' file containing only the geographic coordinate and a single name string are extracted for each populated place.

The GCF (75 MB) can be then loaded and used for rough geocoding of international addresses

Member Function Documentation

bool Countries::FindPlaceWithGuess	(	const char *	country,
		const char *	place,
		DPoint2 &	geo,
		bool	bUTF8 = `false`
	)

Find a location given its country and placename. If successful, it returns true and places the coordinate in 'geo'.

Parameters

country	Country input
place	Place intput - this is generally a town or city
geo	If successful, receives the resulting point
bUTF8	Important! If your country and place names are UTF8 strings, pass true. Otherwise they are assumed to be ANSI (western europe).
