We have not yet discussed undersea geographic terms. This opens up new territory for us! On Tue, Oct 9, 2018 at 1:11 AM Dev Anand Teelucksingh <devtee@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi, just discovered a possible resource of geographic names maintained by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names https://geonames.usgs.gov/index.html
Information about geographic feature names outside the US can be obtained from the GEOnet Names Server (GNS) at http://geonames.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html which has a search tool http://geonames.nga.mil/namesgaz/ including a way to download country files http://geonames.nga.mil/gns/html/namefiles.html of geographic names
These country files appear to be very detailed with names grouped in 9 categories A = Administrative region P = Populated place V = Vegetation L = Locality or area U = Undersea R = Streets, highways, roads, or railroad T = Hypsographic H = Hydrographic S = Spot
according to http://geonames.nga.mil/gns/html/gis_countryfiles.html
A search of the WT5 document didn't turn up this resource so I thought I bring it to the group's attention
