title: Getting bounding-box of city
body: <p>I want to know how far a specific geographic coordinate is from a list of cities ('far' meaning the euclidean distance between the coordinate and the city, not taking roads into account). For this I need to find a bounding-box for each of the cities - all located in Israel.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5187402/working-out-the-bounding-box-of-a-coutnry">This post</a> discusses country bounding-boxes, but I need them at the city level.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get this information for a long list of cities, other than drawing rectangles by hand on a map and extracting the coordinates?</p>
