GPS to Address API
Our reverse geocoding API converts GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) into formatted addresses. This is essential for applications that work with location data from:
- GPS Devices: Vehicle trackers, hiking devices, fitness watches
- Mobile Phones: Location services, check-in apps
- Drones: Aerial photography with location tagging
- IoT Sensors: Asset tracking, environmental monitoring
- Cameras: Geotagged photos and videos
API Request Format
HTTP
GET https://api.latlng.work/reverse?lat=40.7128&lon=-74.0060&api_key=YOUR_KEY
Response Data
The API returns detailed address components:
- Full formatted address
- Street name and number
- Neighborhood/district
- City, state, postal code
- Country name and code
GPS Coordinate Formats
Our API accepts standard decimal degree coordinates:
- Latitude: -90 to 90 (negative = South)
- Longitude: -180 to 180 (negative = West)
Example: New York City is approximately 40.7128, -74.0060
Converting from Other Formats
If your GPS data is in DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds) format like 40° 42' 46" N, 74° 0' 22" W, convert to decimal degrees first:
Decimal = Degrees + (Minutes/60) + (Seconds/3600)
