Reverse Geocoding

Reverse geocoding converts geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude) into human-readable addresses.

When to Use

Use reverse geocoding when you have:

• GPS coordinates from mobile devices
• Location data from IoT sensors
• Coordinates from mapping applications
• Lat/long values that need address labels

How to Use

Step 1: Prepare Your File

Your file should have columns for latitude and longitude:

id,latitude,longitude
1,40.7128,-74.0060
2,34.0522,-118.2437
3,41.8781,-87.6298

Step 2: Select Reverse Geocoding Mode

After uploading, toggle the geocoding mode to Reverse Geocoding.

Step 3: Map Coordinate Columns

Select which columns contain:

• Latitude - Values typically between -90 and 90
• Longitude - Values typically between -180 and 180

Step 4: Process
