In this case the latitude is 51.455558, and the longitude is -2.605047. The reverse is possible by entering the lat and long into the search bar, with a space between them.
In 2006, Reverse Geocoding and reverse APN lookup were introduced to geocoding platforms. This involved geocoding a numerical point location – with a longitude and latitude – to a textual, readable address.
Reverse geocoding is the process of converting a location as described by geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude) to a human-readable address or place name.
In geodesy, conversion among different geographic coordinate systems is made necessary by the different geographic coordinate systems in use across the world and over time. Coordinate conversion is composed of a number of different types of conversion: format change of geographic coordinates, conversion of coordinate systems, or transformation to different geodetic datums. Geographic ...
The company has a website, apps for iOS and Android, and an API for bidirectional conversion between What3words addresses and latitude – longitude coordinates.
For instance, someone can find images taken near a given location by entering latitude and longitude coordinates into a suitable image search engine. Geotagging-enabled information services can also potentially be used to find location-based news, websites, or other resources. [1]
EPSG:4326 - WGS 84 datum ensemble for 2D (latitude, longitude) coordinates with 2 meter accuracy, used by the Global Positioning System among others. EPSG:3857 - Web Mercator projection of WGS 84, used for display by many web-based mapping tools, including Google Maps and OpenStreetMap.
The reverse conversion is harder: given X-Y-Z can immediately get longitude, but no closed formula for latitude and height exists. See " Geodetic system." Using Bowring's formula in 1976 Survey Review the first iteration gives latitude correct within 10 -11 degree as long as the point is within 10,000 meters above or 5,000 meters below the ...
