rgeocoder

A lightweight offline reverse geocoding module for Python implemented in Rust.

Basic usage

pip install rgeocoder

>>> from rgeocoder import ReverseGeocoder
>>> rg = ReverseGeocoder()
>>> r = rg.nearest(41.891929, 12.511331)  # lat, lon
>>> print(r.name, r.cc)
'Rome IT'
>>> print(r.lat, r.lon)
41.89193 12.51133

Some locations include first- and second-level administrative divisions:

>>> print(r.admin1)
'Latium'
>>> print(r.admin2)
'Citta metropolitana di Roma Capitale'
