What is reverse geocoding?

Reverse geocoding is the process of converting latitude and longitude coordinates into a meaningful address. Reverse geocoding is commonly used for mapping purposes, but it can also be used to find addresses based on location.

Why would I want to use reverse geocoding?

There are many reasons why you might want to use reverse geocoordinates. Example #1: You have a list of addresses and need to know where they are located.

Example #2: You have an address and need to find out what city it's in.

Example #3: You have latitude and longitude coordinates of a place and want to find out where it is.
