geocoding

For example if we have these set of coordinates "latitude": 48.858844300000001, "longitude": 2.2943506, How can we find out the city/country? Kevin The free Google Geocoding API provides this service via a HTTP REST API. Note, the API is usage and rate limited , but you can pay for unlimited access. Try this link to see an example of the output (this is in json, output is also available in XML) https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=40.714224,-73.961452&sensor=true Michael Borgwardt Another option: Download the cities database from http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/

Using the Google Geocoder v3, if I try to geocode 20 addresses, I get an OVER_QUERY_LIMIT unless I time them to be ~1 second apart, but then it takes 20 seconds before my markers are all placed. Is there any other way to do it, other than storing the coordinates in advance? No, there is not really any other way : if you have many locations and want to display them on a map, the best solution is to : fetch the latitude+longitude, using the geocoder, when a location is created store those in your database, alongside the address and use those stored latitude+longitude when you want to display the

I have given a location defined by latitude and longitude. Now i want to calculate a bounding box within e.g. 10 kilometers of that point. The bounding box should be defined as latmin, lngmin and latmax, lngmax. I need this stuff in order to use the panoramio API . Does someone know the formula of how to get thos points? Edit: Guys i am looking for a formula/function which takes lat & lng as input and returns a bounding box as latmin & lngmin and latmax & latmin. Mysql, php, c#, javascript is fine but also pseudocode should be okay. Edit: I am not looking for a solution which shows me the
