Hi everybody, > I suspect he is looking for a reverse geocoder, but it is hard to tell > from his description. Yes that's right. I have the coordinates of (possibly very remote) location on earth and would like to get the according country.
Dakhla is a National-Park in West-Sahara. http://maps.google.com?q=Dakhla resolves fine to the coordinates "21.905017,-16.78997" Sorry for not posting a link. The app is still in development => not yet public. But I've set up a page that demonstrates my problem. When I click the link on the following example http://www.businger.ch/diverses/maps/index.php , I get a 602-response instead of a country or continent or anything usefull. > Geonames thinks it is "Western > Sahara"http://ws.geonames.org/countrySubdivision?lat=24.357535&lng=-12.805475 Geonames is perfectly right. It is Western Sahara. Do you know how I can efficiently use this service as fallback if google returns a 602? Have you used this service with any JS library? I currently use YUI3.
