Getting bounding-box of city
gis
Solution
You can find the bounding box of those cities at www.mapdevelopers.com/geocode_bounding_box.php. Entering a city will display a box on a map and give the latitude and longitude of each side. Hopefully that will give you the information you need.
Problem
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. This post discusses country bounding-boxes, but I need them at the city level. 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?
