In my application i have to get the location name using latitude and longitude values, I think we can get them through reverse geocoding is there any method that we can use and get the location value
Thank You
You may also want to take a look at Geonames.org for placenames lookup. It provides acess to a database with more than 8 million geolocations through a JSON or XML api.
An objective-c wrapper of the web services can be found at ILGeoNames3.
MKReverseGeocoder.

I am struggling with this, at the moment we have an application that sends the Lat and Long to Salesforce which we store in two seperate geo code fields.
For example
Subscriber_lat = latitude
Subscriber_long = longitude
We need this converted to
Address = 14 Street Name Street, Suburb, State, Country, Postcode
The problem we have is we want to convert this to an address so we can report on it (e.g. Suburbs, States etc)
Does anyone know of a solution here?

A service such as Google Map's API can do this.
Reverse Geocoding (Address Lookup) The term geocoding generally refers
to translating a human-readable address into a location on a map. The
process of doing the opposite, translating a location on the map into
a human-readable address, is known as reverse geocoding.
Required parameters in a reverse Geocoding request:
latlng — The latitude and longitude values specifying the location for
which you wish to obtain the closest, human-readable address.
key — Your application's API key. This key identifies your application
for purposes of quota management.
I'm trying to do some research for a Spring project that I'm currently working on and can't find the answer to my question. It involves the ability to save a latitude and longitude value into a PostgreSQL database. The latitude and longitude values are calculated by Google Maps API. I want the Spring application to allow the user to then query the database and print markers on a map based on the latitude and longitude values. Is this possible using Google Maps?
While fetching a driving route from OSRM, is it possible to fetch the names of the roads that feed into that path (so crossings and side roads)? If so, how can this be done?
Unfortunately you can only retrieve the names of the roads that are part of the route. This information is available if you pass the option steps=true.
The .routes[].legs[].steps[] object (RouteStep) has a property name that contains the street name.
I tried several valid address but bing map api is not returning a result:
http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations?adminDistrict=Singapore&CountryRegion=SGP&postalCode=449269&addressLine=80%20Marine%20Parade%20Rd&key=mykey
any ideas?
There are three ways to resolve your issue;
Instead of passing in Singapore as an adminDistrict (i.e. state/province), pass it in using the locality property (city). Alternatively pass it in to both of those properties.
Remove the postal code from the query.
Instead of using a structured address, pass in your address as a query. This is recommended in the best practices and greatly increases the odds of a correct result being found: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn894107.aspx
I am creating store locator application. This application should show nearest store to given latitude and longitude.
I can get latitude and longitude. I have data in my Mysql database on server containing information regarding stores and their corresponding latitude and longitudes.
1. Is it secure to connect MySQL database through application(because i have to connect to database to get nearest stores through Haversine formula.).
2. how can i implement whole process.
Update:---
Basically i till now i can get my location coordinates like longitude and latitude. I can get nearest stores in table form using googlePlaces but i want to add opening and closing time as well. So i was thinking about connecting mySql database having all information. But main point is getting nearest stores. I have searched a lot and found there is haversine formula for that. i have found tutorial using haversine with php and mysql. but i dont know php.So please suggest me any way with which i can accomplish this.
Thanks
Normally you would use a webservice (via SOAP, REST, JSON, …) for such tasks, as this would prevent opening the database-server to the public and also makes you independent from the used programming language.
