Rails - Sep 2006 - Reverse Geocoding?

Howdy folks,

I know a lot of people (Google, Yahoo, others) offer geocoding, I am looking
for a Web service for reverse geocoding.

For instance, I have a latitude and longitude and I would like to get an
approximate street address for them.

I haven''t found anything that''s working all that well for me
so I thought I
would ask here.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
H

I''m using the geocoder.us database for geocoding, it should also be a
decent base for reverse geocoding.  It''s just a dbm file so it
shouldn''t be too much work to look at it and figure out how to query
it.  Downloading and compiling the TIGERLINE files into the dbm file
takes some time though.
