Product description	Geonames is the database of geographic names of the Czech Republic. It is a system for administration of named features. A standard geographic name is maintained as a part of attribute information to approx. 165 types of named features. Geometric representation of some Geonames objects corresponds to the locations of features of ZABAGED®, to which the name applies. Another group of features, above all all field and forest lots and local parts of settlements have a simplified geometry corresponding to the location of its map lettering in the state map series. The Features are represented by a vector (punctual) component with attributes containing wider information about names.
