GPS data of Italian train stations

[Daniele Baroncelli]

I am developing a train timetable application for Android
and I am looking for the GPS coordinates of Italian train stations.

Anyone knows where I can find them?

I assume you are looking for longitude, latitude (lon-lat) values for all train stations. You could use one of the following method :

 + Use Google Earth, create place mark at train stations. Save the file as KML. The file will contain lon-lat values.

+ You could actually visit all train stations and using GPS device note down lon-lat values.

+ If you are developing a web application then you may consider using Google Maps API or OpenLayers javascript library. It will allow you to get lon-lat of train stations directly into your application. You need to be careful about the projection type being used.

OpenStreetMap likely has the stations geolocated already - worth a look:
