I've been assigned the task of finding and displaying (text only) the
City, State (province) and Country given the lat and long. (This is a
Ruby on Rails app and I'm getting the lat and long from EXIF data.)
I've been playing with the different reverse geocode lookups but don't
seem to have a consistent way to do this globally. It looks like the
extendedFindNearby is the way to go for the USA but it get's much more
complicated when non-US.
I think you can do two calls, first to countrySubdivision for the country and administrative area 1, then grab the place name from findNearbyPostalCodes for city.
