Get street address at lat/long pair

Tags:

I've seen that it's possible to get the latitude and longitude (geocoding, like in Google Maps API) from a street address, but is it possible to do the reverse and get the street address when you know what the lat/long already is?

The application would be an iPhone app (and why the app already knows lat/long), so anything from a web service to an iPhone API would work.

How do I find a street name from latitude and longitude?

The short story is you need to do: Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale. getDefault()); List<Address> addresses = geocoder. getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);

How do I find a physical address from GPS coordinates?

On the Google Maps app, you can't pull up a context menu. To find the address for your coordinates, hold your finger down over the red pin that shows your coordinates. Then, after 1-3 seconds, the address will pop up on the bottom of your screen.
