Everything about Reverse geocoding
Resolving coordinates to a readable address or place name
Reverse geocoding is the process of converting a location as described by geographic coordinates to a human-readable address or place name. It is the opposite of forward geocoding, hence the term reverse. Reverse geocoding permits the identification of nearby street addresses, places, and/or areal subdivisions such as neighbourhoods, county, state, or country. Combined with geocoding and routing services, reverse geocoding is a critical component of mobile location-based services and Enhanced 911 to convert a coordinate obtained by GPS to a readable street address which is easier to understand by the end user, but not necessarily with a better accuracy.
