The 'What's here' function of Google Maps tries to reverse geocode the
clicked point and creates two markers, one at the clicked point to
show the coordinates of that point, another at the closest addressable
location to show the address.

It can be done with the Maps API.

Have a look at the documentation

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#ReverseGeocoding

And here is an example
