IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> Are there any good lat / long lookups that you can run without an internet connection?
#
sknebel what do you mean by "lat/long lookup"?
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> Map lat/long to a city.
#
[KevinMarks] Depends on how much you want to cache locally and your definition of a city. For the UK locus.plus does a decent job, you could extract the city bit of that from the code
#
sknebel hm, e.g. germany has ~11k municipalities, so that would probably not be too hard to cache with some useful data in a few MB of data
#
sknebel That's probably the two main questions: what area do you want to cover and how much data are you willing to store for this?
#
sknebel and then one can reduce down a dataset to fit those constraints
#
sknebel (well, and error tolerance regarding stuff close to borders)
#
sknebel (e.g. if its to show a user a list of candidates to pick from, "these are places around here" is probably enough. if it needs to automatically figure out what city is this side of the river vs the other, more data needed :D)
