Hi Chris Thank you very much for the pointers to geonames.org and Nominatum. Since my database would be relatively small (around 10000 places) I could look into implementing a simple lookup table based on the longitude and latitude (if I want to do it offline).
At the least, I know what is the term that I should be looking for, namely "reverse geocoding". As you can see I am new to this stuff.
