Check it out for yourself. You can use a FOSS GIS like QGIS to view shapefiles, as well as the commercial ArcGIS. There is also an online viewer here: koordinates.com/layer/1287-world-populated-places-110-million | |
| Apr 15, 2014 at 12:41 | comment | added | Ivan Kovacevic | After a bit of thinking I believe this could be used but with an addition to somehow take the size of the populated places into the consideration. So that the distance from coastline is less for smaller cities/villages and bigger for big cities. Can I extract the rough estimate of size(for example radius, from center) of places from some source? | |
| Apr 14, 2014 at 22:10 | comment | added | Ivan Kovacevic | This could be a solution! Although, as you said, a lot of work has to be done. But definitely a nice answer. Thanks. I've updated my question with a more detailed explanation of my intentions. | |
