This web service is using SRTM3 data with data points located every 3-arc-second (approximately 90 meters) on a latitude/longitude grid. Data voids in the original SRTM files have been filled by cgiar. Thanks to Andy Jarvis and Cgiar to allow GeoNames to use the processed data. Documentation : cgiar-csi,Nasa Complete Files of Geographic Names for Geopolitical Areas from GNS(ISO/IEC 10646 [Unicode UTF-8] Compliant as of 18 July 2002) We provide complete files of geographic names information covering countries or geopolitical areas. The files are in a tab-delimited text format amenable to input into geographic information systems, databases, and The GNDB is the base for populating the Geographic Names Server (GNS) dissemination database instance, made available to consumers of geographic names data and services. This keyboard is provided to support consumers of geographic names, and can be used in conjunction with the Geographic Names Search application, or as needed to paste Introduction. Since ggmap's geocode function stopped accessing Google Map's API like it used to, we turn to other solutions to getting coordinates for place names. Having played with a couple I've landed on the geonames package from ropensci, which creates a connection between R and the open data source geonames.
