Richard Suchenwirth - For friends of the upcoming TclWorld map tool (formerly known as tkWorld), here's a little global gazetteer that gives latitudes and longitudes (N and W being positive) for some 200 capitals and major cities of the world (adapted and digested from [L1 ], North American data from [L2 ], so you can start populating your world ;-). Again I'm happy that I picked absolute coordinates for the data format, so these city locations fit like a hand in a glove with the other area or outline data:
