# MKReverseGeocodingRequest

A class that looks up address strings for the provided geographic coordinates.

## Declaration

```swift
class MKReverseGeocodingRequest
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this class to look up an address by a coordinate you provide. This example shows how to use a Task modifier on a SwiftUI view to reverse geocodes an array of coordinates to the corresponding addresses that MapKit returns in an array of MKMapItem objects.

struct MyReverseGeocoderView: View {

let fountainCoordinates = [         CLLocation(latitude: 39.042617, longitude: -94.587526),         CLLocation(latitude: 40.774313, longitude: -73.970835),         CLLocation(latitude: -33.870986, longitude: 151.211786),          CLLocation(latitude: 41.875790, longitude: -87.618953),         ]

// An array that holds resolved information about the fountains.         @State var fountains: [MKMapItem] = []

var body: some View {         // SwiftUI body views         }         .task {             var fountainMapItems = [MKMapItem]()             for coordinate in fountainCoordinates {                 if let request = MKReverseGeocodingRequest(location: coordinate) {                     let mapitems = try? await request.mapItems                     if let mapitem = mapitems?.first {                         fountainMapItems.append(mapitem)                     }                 }             }             fountains = fountainMapItems             // The fountains `MKMapItems` array contains information describing              // details about the following places based on the provided coordinates:             //             // Mill Creek Park Fountain, Kansas City, Missouri             // Bethesda Terrace Fountain, Central Park, New York City             // Archibald Fountain, Sydney, Australia             // Buckingham Fountain, Chicago, Illinois         }     }
