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 implemented (See https://github.com/thampiman/reverse-geocoder for performance comparison)

Supports Python 2 and 3. You can also load a custom data source. Fore more help, see https://github.com/thampiman/reverse-geocoder.

Example usage: >>> import reverse_geocoder_whl as rg >>> coordinates = (51.5214588,-0.1729636),(9.936033, 76.259952),(37.38605,-122.08385) >>> rg.search(coordinates) [{'name': 'Bayswater', 'cc': 'GB', 'lat': '51.51116', 'lon': '-0.18426', 'admin1': 'England', 'admin2': 'Greater London'}, {'name': 'Cochin', 'cc': 'IN', 'lat': '9.93988', 'lon': '76.26022', 'admin1': 'Kerala', 'admin2': 'Ernakulam'}, {'name': 'Mountain View', 'cc': 'US', 'lat': '37.38605', 'lon': '-122.08385', 'admin1': 'California', 'admin2': 'Santa Clara County'}]
