Free Reverse Geocoding API

What is Reverse Geocoding?

Reverse geocoding is the process of converting geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) back into a human-readable address. This is the opposite of forward geocoding and is essential for applications that receive GPS coordinates and need to display meaningful location information to users.
