Google Geocoding Without API Key

I'm using Google Geocoding merely to retrieve Location names so the users can Input the place they live (Country/City) into a form, i'm not actually "Geocoding".

Following the example on: Angular-ui The Typeahead Section

I have two concerns:

1) I'm not sending an API Key, but it still works... is this OK? (I've red that is no longer necessary in the forums...)

2) Is there a better way of doing this? maybe with a Database of places or some 3rd party service to provide Country/City Names?

I think This database is what you are looking for, it provides you with all coutries their countryCode,region,city,postalCode,latitude,longitude,metroCode and areaCode The problem is that it is a long list so you have to be a bit creative in how to display these informations to the user ( an autocompleeter may do the trick)

I you want somthing else try OSM they have many services like this u need to give it country code and city so it give you the location. Or in your case you have lang+lati and you need the adress so i think u can use this

Hope this helps you
