I was comparing worldcitiesdatabae info with www worldcitiesdatabase com and it appears the latter one to be more resourceful  However  maxmind has a free database so then why buy a cities database  Just get the free one and there is lot of help available on internet about maxmind db  If you put in extra efforts then you can save those few bucks

Check this out   Cities of the world database donated by MaxMind com  The company MaxMind com1 has agreed to release their cities of the world database under the GPL  The database contains locations by country  city  latitude and longitude  There are over 3 047 000 records in the database  For those of you who have tried the location module with the zipcodes database from CivicSpace  you will recognize how cool it is and how well this fits with that project and therefore Drupal    Here s another free one that might help you get started   Creating and maintaining such a database is quite a bit of work - so anyone who s done it is likely keeping it to themselves  or offering it for a fee
