Description
Hi,
I use location/gmap for my nodes.
I use nodes which have lat/lon but sometimes the region or city is not correctly inserted.
Could integration of geonames with location be used for reverse geocoding from lat/lon to city/region/country?
Thanks a lot in advance for your answer!
Greetings,
Martijn

You can always lookup country/subdivison using code like:
<?php// Lookup Tyrol, AT by lat/long
$results = geonames_query('countrysubdivision', array('lat' => 47.03, 'lng' => 10.2));
?>
and get results like
[15-Sep-2009 00:58:33] stdClass Object
(
[standalone] => no
[results] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[countrycode] => AT
[countryname] => Austria
[admincode1] => 07
[adminname1] => Tyrol
[type] => ISO3166-2
)
)
[total_results_count] => 1
[service] => countrysubdivision
[request] => Array
(
[url] => http://ws.geonames.org/countrySubdivision?lng=10.2&lat=47.03
[bytes] => 334
[seconds] => 0.745896100998
)
[query] => Array
(
[lng] => 10.2
[lat] => 47.03
)
)
How's that? Call the function above, and add information directly to your Location.
