Offline city search for all maps ( GeoNames )

Hi,


I know from the Geocaching software called GSAK, that it is possible, to download from http://www.geonames.org a database for each country. The Database contains just the name of a city and the coordinates of that city.


Why not implement it in locus? If it would be possible to download such a database locally then it would be possible to find each city on every map. It would fit very good in the already good working online search function.


Hope everybody likes it ;)

Oh no - yes you're right :D


I never saw the menu in the search function. I always thought there is a lot of space under the online search and that's it.


Thanks ! You may close the thread. Sorry for that!
