GeoData International (English) Description

Geodata International is a comprehensive and useful database that contains a plethora of geographic and GIS-related information for almost all countries in the world, including towns, municipalities, distractions, localities, their zip codes and GPS, WGS84, and UTM coordinates.

Straight from the get-go, it becomes quite evident that this database has a broad spectrum of applications and it can be especially useful when it comes to developing geocoding, data enrichment, distance calculation, proximity search and even navigation utilities.

Before anything else, it is worthy to point out that the bundled geodata is by no means from open-source data. In fact, the geodata is actually recorded from official resident authorities, various institutions, and Geodata International suppliers.

On that note, you should be able to effortlessly integrate it within your software projects since it is composed out of CSV, SDF and Xbase files in UTF8 format files. Its content is neatly organized within various Country Groups, as follows: Germania/Austria/Switzerland, Germany + Neighbors, West Europe, East Europe, Pan Europe, North America, Central America + the Caribbean, South America, Australia-Asia + Pacific, Asia, Middle East, Africa and Worldwide.

Furthermore, distances between various places can or postal areas can be calculated with the coordinates contained in the database tables, which are expressed in longitude and latitude. What is more, the database can also be used for apps that require calculations of level height.

To conclude, Geodata International is a lightweight collection of worldwide geographical and administrative data that can be easily integrated within multiple utilities.
