Translate coordinates to street address
« on: April 24, 2013, 01:56:03 AM »
Hi  I am trying to translate the coordinates (from Avast Mobile) to an actual street address. It does show me approx. on the street where the phone is located but I could use the address as well. (I know that it would be approximate)  Thank You!

This product rocks!!!

It's just not possible. Civilian satellites can not provide accurate geospatial information for reverse geocoding.

Only military satellites can.

Thank you!

Just an fyi, I did try another product ( a family locator). That product did not return coordinates, but gave an approx. street address +/- 30- 50 ft.

I think I'm fairly well covered between the two.

the problem is Google charges quite some amount to do reverse geocoding (which is what you want). for a free product, we can not afford that costs.
