reverseLookup(coordinate, callback, options)

Converts a geographic coordinate to an address.

Declaration

reverseLookup(
    coordinate: CoordinateData,
    callback: (
        error: Error | null,
        result: GeocoderResponse | null,
    ) => void,
    options?: GeocoderReverseLookupOptions,
): Promise<GeocoderResponse>;

Parameters

  • coordinate:

    The coordinate to convert to a human-readable address. For example, new ``Coordinate```(37.779268, -122.419248)`, which represents San Francisco City Hall.

  • callback:

    MapKit JS invokes this callback function with two arguments, error on failure and data on success. If you cancel the request before you receive a response, the framework doesn’t call this function.

    • error (Error). Contains an error code and descriptive message.

    • data (Geocoderresponse). An object that contains an array of places named Results.

  • options:

    Language is the only option that you can set for the reverse geocoder. For example, { language: 'fr-CA' } tells the server to send results localized to Canadian French. If you set it, this option overrides the language you provide in the Geocoder constructor.

Return Value

A promise that resolves with a GeocoderResponse on success.

Discussion

Reverse geocoding converts geographic coordinates to the nearest human-readable address.
