Hello, I wanted to ask if there's any way to improve reverse geocoding when using it on sea/ocean locations on map? Now it returns some not really accurate information (Sometime its village located far away, sometime its good returning Sea or Ocean name) but its not accurate. Is there any other way to fetch rev geocode of sea/ocean/lake names ?

Cheers,
Marcin

Not really
It is not designed for sea locations

Use a different geocoder.

geonames.org, can work well. They have extra features for working with
sea locations.
