Provides a Geonames autocomplete for fields.
Very useful if you need users to select cities like in facebook. It retrieves any type of geoname (country, province, city, etc) till the lowest level and stores it on the database to reduce requests.
It also supports multilanguage so users can find places on their preferred language.
Fields can be displayed and filtered on views since it's automatically integrated.
