Google Places API

If you do not want to enter all locations manually to your directory website, enable the Google Places API by checking the Enable Google Places API for Cities selection checkbox option through the Admin Panel via Settings->Settings->Listing tab. Do not enable this option if you want to restrict your directory website to some specific cities.

This is the best option to get Cities data from a database used by Google Maps and Google+ Local. It has also some limitations like per day restrictions, the extra overhead of key generation, etc. For more information on pricing and usage limit, visit:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/usage-and-billing

Note: Google Places API has a per-day usage limitation, so generate a new key for your directory website and use it. Our demo API key is configured on several websites, using it will not always populate the city's field.
