Libya cities dataset

This repository contains a dataset of all Libyan cities, towns, villages, and hamlets. The dataset includes longitude and latitude coordinates, as well as localized names for each location.

New Update

In this update, we have expanded our dataset to include not only cities but also towns, villages, and hamlets. This enhancement allows for a more complete representation of Libyan geographical data.

New Features

• Multilingual Support: New language variants of place names from OpenStreetMap
• Data Merging: Updates existing entries and adds new ones without duplicates

Usage

To run the script and update the dataset, use the following command:

php index.php
