Sorry for the late reply. Actually for our application, I ended up not
using the mock reverse geocoder. I ended up just making a webservice
call to ws.geonames.org, which provides a decent reverse geocode
service that takes a simple http get param list and returns xml
describing the nearest address. Of course, I'm sort of screwed if
ws.geonames.org is down occasionally.Hope this helps.
