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
# Python3 program for reverse geocoding. # importing necessary libraries import reverse_geocoder as rg
import pprint
def reverseGeocode(coordinates):
result = rg.search(coordinates)
# result is a list containing ordered dictionary.
pprint.pprint(result)
# Driver function if __name__ = = "__main__" :
# Coordinates tuple.Can contain more than one pair.
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'}]
