Flickr has an API method that will do this to city level. http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.places.findByLatLon.html I don't know if Yahoo's GeoPlanet API does this itself http://developer.yahoo.com/geo/ but I think Flickr's method also benefits from corrections Flickr's users make if they drop a photo in a place and the assigned place name is wrong. It's not OSM, but it sounds like what you want. Tom. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
