reverse_geocoder 1.2

Fast, offline reverse geocoder

Reverse Geocoder takes a latitude / longitude coordinate and returns the nearest town/city. This library improves on an existing library called reverse_geocode developed by Richard Penman in the following ways: 1. Besides city and country, this library also returns the administrative 1 & 2 regions, latitude and longitude 2. The performance is much faster since a parallelized K-D tree is implemeneted (See https://github.com/thampiman/reverse-geocoder for performance comparison)

Supports Python 2 and 3.

Example usage:

>>> import reverse_geocoder as rg
>>> coordinates = (51.5214588,-0.1729636),(13.9280531,100.3735803)
>>> rg.search(coordinates)
