Reverse geocoding coordinates
- [Instructor] After geocoding multiple addresses and turning them into geospatial data, now let's have a look at reverse geocoding, which is the exact same process in reverse. So reverse geocoding is the process of converting geographic coordinates into human readable addresses. This is particularly useful for understanding the location details of a given point on a map and may enable applications such as displaying location information in human readable format, validating geospatial data and reaching geospatial data sets, or even combining spatial data sets with textual databases. Luckily, Geopipe provides a straightforward interface for reverse geocoding, making it easy to convert coordinates into addresses. Again, we start by defining the geolocator, then copying the coordinates from the previous part, we are going to define two coordinates, one of the New York City Flatiron Building and one for the Linde Learning campus in California. Then all we have to do is to call the locator…
