title: Database of major cities&towns of each country with latitude & longitude
body: <p>I´m looking for a database of the <strong>major cities and towns</strong> of each country. </p>
  
  <p>Most services have databases of millions of places (like this one <a href="https://www.maxmind.com/en/free-world-cities-database" rel="nofollow">https://www.maxmind.com/en/free-world-cities-database</a>), but for my purposes that is way too detailed. </p>
  
  <p>I think that roughly about 70 places per million people should cover all major places in our world. Therefore I´m looking for a database of about 300 000 - 400 000 entries, all countries listed. The maxmind database could be filtered to only contain the major ones but for most entries the population data is missing. </p>
  
  <p>Anyone know where/how to get such database?    </p>
