I was reading the documentation regarding the Geocoder class and the
description says:

"The Geocoder class requires a backend service that is not included in
the core android framework."

I assume this means that the proprietary Google Maps API's provides
this backend service which routes through the Google Maps service.  I
searched around trying to find information on constructing my own
Geocoder backend service but have come up nil.  Is there any way to
produce a custom backend for the Geocoder class?

If it helps formulate a better response I'm trying to determine
locations based on the GPS coordinates to produce areas such as
streets, cities, parks, shopping centers, etc.  If something like this
already exists then I'd be more than happy to use it, but from what
I've seen searching around no such service exists for an Android
application.
