webtrees

These are zip archives containing text (csv format) files that can be imported into webtrees Google Maps™ module. Importing them creates places with lat/long coordinates in the database for use by the mapping module.

[NOTE: Many of these files now include a folder of flags, as these are no longer (from webtrees version 1.2.2) included in the standard download]

This file contains all Belgian municipalities and formerly independent municipalities according to the Nationaal Geografisch Instituut, with their official coordinates. Preference is given to the original Dutch language names; if no Dutch name is known, the German or French name is used.
4 levels are used: country (België), provinces and the Brussels hoofdstedelijk gewest, municipality, and former independent municipality (mainly before the fusions of 1/1/1977). In that last category, a few other a few other placenames on the sub-municipal level are listed too.
 

Note about the license: I do not know what is meant by that. I give this file to the world for free, thanking the creators and maintainers of webtrees.

V1.1 - fixed Longitude, Latitude bug

This is an updated top-level Countries CSV file. 

Major Change:
----------------------
There are two versions of the file.  One just with updates from the original.
The other with the three-letter ISO designations replaced with the official, ISO
English-language names.  Choose which you wish to load and use (maybe both?).

Updates:
----------------------
There were six new additions to the Country file (with flags) based on the current
ISO standard and one new unofficial addition (with UPDATED flag).  There are two
3-letter code changes and two 3-letter codes / country names removed.  Additionally,
we left the entries for Great Britain "countries" of England, Scotland, and Wales.
The new flags came from Wikipedia and were resized.

Note sure why but the original CSV referenced .gif files while the Flags directory
contained only .png files.  All entries are now to .png references.

Data source: world-gazeteer.com

This set of Google Map files includes:

1) All of Canada:  Top level (Level 0), Provinces (Level 1) and most cities, towns and villages(Level 2) included.  This file ignores the hundreds of Census Districts (some called counties, some called municipal districts, some by other names) as there seems to be few listings of these associations anywhere. You may insert these as needed for clarification of your data, but most references ignore these divisions.

2) All Canadian Provinces: Top (level 0) and all territories and provinces only (level 1)

3) Provinces with Cities: Level 1 provinces and their associated (level 2) cities, towns and villages.  This is provided for those who need only selected locations, those trying to keep the size of their table smaller or those who can not import the larger ALL of Canada file due to file size or memory issues.

Canada is recorded as Canada in all of these files, not by Chapman CAN title. Provinces are recorded as long names, not as two letter abbreviations (XX)

Flag pointers are associated with level 0 and level 1 places in all files.

Please advise me of needed changes so we may provide occasional updates to these files.

This file contains only the names, coordinates and flag information for Canada and its thirteen provinces. Note: A more detailed file containing most of Canada's cities is under development and should be released shortly.

Norway and Fylkes with flags

Data from world-gazeteer.com: 1000 largest cities in Sweden, by municipality, with (mostly complete) latitude/longitude data.  In CSV format, suitable for webtrees import. 47k unzipped.
