geolocations

This service provides geographic location mapping for cities above 25'000 inhabitants (~22750 cities), through either:

• matching of the (start-anchored) name
• providing GeoJSON compatible parameters:
• geoLongitude
• geoLatitude
• geoDistance
  • optional, in meters; a default of 10'000m (10km) is provided
  • can be used for e.g. retrieving all places (or data from places if used with publication or sample searches) in an approximate region (e.g. for Europe using 2500000 around Heidelberg...)
• the addition of &plotType=map will return a map plot of the results
