After a little researching I see several options to do it:

If there is a list of hardcoded cities and this will work I would go for the second option.

I think we should look into using an api for this such as google places: https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/search

We need to investigate the costs for using this api, but considering our modest load I do not except this will amount to much

KarafiziArtur commented 5 years ago

@dimitriirtimid there is a cost 17$ per 1000 requests to find places. https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/usage-and-billing image.png

As Arthur already has a big list of places with lat/longs; I think using the api for this is abit overkill as I don't think we will use the api for anything else.
