Reverse¶
Reverse geocoding is the process of converting geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) into a human-readable address or place name. A Reverse API is a feature provided by MAPZONE that allows developers to perform reverse geocoding in their custom mapping applications. With a Reverse API, developers can take a set of coordinates as input and retrieve information such as the nearest address, city, or place name. This information can be used to provide context for the location on the map, or to perform further actions such as search and navigation.
