Reverse geocoding is the process of identifying local information using geo-coordinates. It can be used in a variety of applications, from location-based services and apps to smart devices and the Internet of Things.
Google's reverse geocoding API provides a full address (either the street address or a city name) of a location as well as its region, prefecture, and other information. This includes administrative and non-administrative boundary-based results, and it's free for client-side implementation.
How it works:
In reverse geocoding, a coordinate is interpolated from a range of possible addresses in a reference dataset. This approach can be a good way to reduce the number of geocoding requests to Google, which can speed up your application's response time.
The most important thing to consider when choosing a reverse geocoding service is how much accuracy you want. Some providers have "Rooftop Level" accuracy on most addresses, while others may only provide parcel centroid data.
Moreover, you should also look for providers with rate limits or throttling. Reverse geocoding can be a high-volume operation, so it's best to have the ability to scale your requests and avoid a potential drop in availability.
How to use the plugin:
The Google reverse geocoding API can be applied using a plugin to resolve position coordinates into a specific address. This functionality can be added into device messages using the "google-reverse-geocoding" plugin type.
This is a fast way to get the coordinates of a location into your app and add them to device messages. It's a great option for apps that require precise position data or want to display more precise coordinates on an interactive map.
