[R] Reverse geocoding Latitude and Longitude to address/name of location
I have a data frame with the column for latitude and another column for longitude. I would like to create a reverse geocoding function that creates another column with the address corresponding to this lat and lon i.e lat lon address 41.4938 -81.9860 ??? The second thing I am trying to do is to use the lat and lon or the generated address to find the name of the location corresponding to the lat/lon. The lat's and long I have are all for store/fast food locations like MacDonald/Burgerking/Subways. lat lon address store_name 41.4938 -81.9860 ??? ??? In general I am trying to automate and execute the following using R 1) address associated with a particular lat and lon 2) store name associated with the lat and lon/address Please let me know if there is anyone who knows how to do item 1 and/or 2 in R or if there is a function that can do this in another language.
