Python | Reverse Geocoding to get location on a map using geographic coordinates
Last Updated :
12 Jul, 2021
Reverse geocoding is the process of finding a place or a location address from a given pair of geographic coordinates(latitude and longitude).
Modules needed:
reverse_geocoder: A Python library for offline reverse geocoding.
pprint: A module which helps to "pretty-print" any arbitrary python data structure.
Installation:
The modules can be easily installed using pip.
pip install reverse_geocoder
pip install pprint
Examples:
Input : (36.778259, -119.417931)
Output :
Loading formatted geocoded file...
[{'admin1': 'California',
'admin2': 'Fresno County',
'cc': 'US',
'lat': '36.72384',
'lon': '-119.45818',
'name': 'Minkler'}]
Input : (28.644800, 77.216721)
Output :
Loading formatted geocoded file...
[{'admin1': 'NCT',
'admin2': 'New Delhi',
'cc': 'IN',
'lat': '28.63576',
'lon': '77.22445',
'name': 'New Delhi'}]
Below is the implementation:
Python3
import reverse_geocoder as rg
import pprint
def reverseGeocode(coordinates):
result = rg.search(coordinates)
pprint.pprint(result)
if __name__ = = "__main__" :
coordinates = ( 28.613939 , 77.209023 )
reverseGeocode(coordinates)
|
Output:
Loading formatted geocoded file...
[{'admin1': 'NCT',
'admin2': 'New Delhi',
'cc': 'IN',
'lat': '28.63576',
'lon': '77.22445',
'name': 'New Delhi'}]
