by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names<br>
<a href="https://geonames.usgs.gov/index.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://geonames.usgs.gov/index.html</a><br>
<br>
Information about geographic feature names outside the US can be<br>
obtained from the GEOnet Names Server (GNS) at<br>
<a href="http://geonames.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://geonames.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html</a> which has a search tool<br>
<a href="http://geonames.nga.mil/namesgaz/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://geonames.nga.mil/namesgaz/</a> including a way to download country<br>
files <a href="http://geonames.nga.mil/gns/html/namefiles.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://geonames.nga.mil/gns/html/namefiles.html</a> of geographic<br>
names<br>
<br>
These country files appear to be very detailed with names grouped in 9<br>
categories<br>
A = Administrative region<br>
P = Populated place<br>
V = Vegetation<br>
L = Locality or area<br>
U = Undersea<br>
R = Streets, highways, roads, or railroad<br>
T = Hypsographic<br>
H = Hydrographic<br>
S = Spot<br>

<br>
A search of the WT5 document didn't turn up this resource so I thought<br>
I bring it to the group's attention<br>
