Reverse geocoding. A boat comes to a bay, captain looks on a screen, and it says "You are in Guantanamo Bay". So with your suggestion either the application is going to need a preprocessed database, or it will have to make it's own fuzzy logic. If it's so easy to make that logic, why don't you make a little script, and we can try it out on our examples. If it works in 95% of cases, maybe that's the best solution. We can map the rest 5% with polygons. Making it easy for the mapper is certainly a worthwhile cause. Janko
