Just an FYI: geocoder module (http://drupal.org/project/geocoder) now has support for geolocation.

This means that you can use address-field, text-fields, file-fields (ie KML, GPX, etc.) as storage backends for geolocation.

Just wanted to let you folks know - feel free to close this issue.

Phayes, Geolocation field does reverse geocoding: when you select a point from the map, it displays it in a textbox. So, is it possible to use that information (city, country etc) in any field, or maybe in Views by the help of Geocoder? Or is it irrelevant?

Hi @etcetera9,

Reverse geocoding using geocoder is currently a requested feature, but isn't implemented yet. What *is* working is using KML, GPX (handheld-gps), geotagged images, addresses etc as a geocoding source for inserting into geolocation fields.
