Reverse geocoding

Turning coordinates into a street, district or address.

Reverse geocoding goes the other way: from a latitude and longitude to the nearest street, district or address. It is what makes a road closure at 51.51, -0.14 readable as Regent Street, Westminster.

xMap Flows uses it to name traffic incidents after their street in emails and messages.
