Reverse geocoding

anoukmenko

When using the collector app, i pinpoint the location. It would be nice if the collector app could calculate in which country I just pinpointed this location, what the address is etc (reverse geocoding). So I no longer have to fill in these details myself. It feels like I am double work at the moment.

I have done a lot of work with geocoding.  Good idea this but it would be horribly horribly inaccurate.

Unless you could get a centerline address source that is broken at each number and you were taking your gps point at the exact line segment.  However, this applies to the Number portion of the address.  You should be albe to get road name, county, country etc from a gps point.  Just not the number portion of the address.
