I've bookmarked the following for lattitude and longitude data. I find them very useful: World Cities Listed by Lattitude https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_latitude World Cities Listed by Longitude https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_longitude There are numerous similar resources on line. I've just found these two particularly useful with screen readers. hth Janina Linux for blind general discussion writes: > Tim here.
