I am creating a directory which uses locations to categorize all listings. Instead of relying on user input, I'd like to provide a list of locations which the user can select. I have already tried GeoWorldMap which is provided by GeoBytes but it has certain issues. For example, it lists 275 countries. Other than that, their database is updated on a regular basis so that means if I maintain a local database, I'll need to update it every now and then to make sure it's up to date.
I want to know what developers use for this. Instead of a database, do they use some service to fetch a list of locations?
I am afraid manual user input is not an open option because categorization by location is going to be essential so I cannot trust or rely on what the user enters manually.
I have seen few sites doing this so I am sure there is a practical solution out there.
