Hi all,

I am wondering if there is a way to reverse geocode a region highlighted by a polygon.


The intention was to allow users to define a region (polygon) by placing markers on the map, then use reverse geocoder to list all the street names and cities. 
After that, users can then select to display places of interest in that regions, things like restaurants, schools, parks, etc.

Is there anyway I can send a polygon bound as geocode request?
Any help will be awesome, thanks in advance!

ps: the code is in gmap.js and its just to play around with stuff.

Not using the Google geocoder, no.

And the reason for that is that

is against the Terms of Service. That counts as a bulk download of data.
