MapPoint ?
It's not .NET, though.

You aren't really asking for a lot, are you ?

Countries should be easy.

Cities ( if you want all of them ) will strain you,
and will take a good-sized research team.

Roads would take an army of developers, researchers
and countless millions of dollars.

I believe you have asked this a couple times and if I remember from your
previous threads you are looking for a webservice to use to have dropdown's.
I haven't answered because I was hoping someone might provide more help
than I can, but take a look at http://www.salcentral.com/Search.aspx and
search for "country" You should see some helpful result. I noticed that
there was one for "GetAllMajorCit yByCountryName" from a weather
service....migh t be useful...

I've got a list of Country->Region->City

They are text files though, not in a DB, so you would have to import them.

They are also probably a few years old.

I would like to link the contents of three OptionMenu lists. When I select an item from the first list (call it continents), the contents of the 2nd list (call it countries) would update.

Here's some sample code that displays three OptionMenus, but doesn't update the list...

Hi There! I'm trying to create a User Registration page in ASP.NET and wondering what is the best way to get the list of up-to-date Countries and Cities? Are there any Web Services on the web that I can use to retrieve such information? If not, what are the options? Please, any suggestions and pointers will be very much appreciated! Dave
