hugold / easy-reverse-geocoding

Goal

This project is made to find country based on latitude/longitude data without making API calls. Based on Polygons found in an outdated/unmaintained project .

Dataset is not 100% accurate, known failure cases exist, especially near borders. But it should be enough for most needs.

Feel free to PR or request Polygons updated.

Installation

yarn add easy-reverse-geocoding
OR
npm i easy-reverse-geocoding

How to use ?

}
function searchCountry(lat:number,long:number):PlaceSearchResult|null{
    return getCountry(lat,long);
}
console.log(searchCountry(48.8566,2.3522)); // France
