international proximity locator

i've decided on using a quick and dirt way to measure distance between members who do not live in the US .

i will be using an arbitrary code to represent your country and city . this code will be linked to your geographical coordinates and you will be able to see the distance between yourself and other members just the same as if you lived in the US .

if you are one of these non-US members , please post in this thread . what i need to know is

a) your country
b) your city

i will look up longitude and lattitude for these points and create a table containg the generated codes to use . you will enter these codes in your profile in the zip code field .

[UPDATED MESSAGE]
canadian and worldwide "zip codes" are provided for major cities i collected . you may notice that your home city , which you explicily provided is not in the list . it was faster for me to add data values that were already collected , so you may have to wait until later if you want better precision . for now , pick the city that is closest to you . the resolution is great enough that this should be sufficient .
