[Geocoding] Help needed for setting up Reverse Geocoding Database using OpenStreetMap Data

[Sumit Gulati]

Dear All,

 

We would like to use reverse geocoding to get the address from a latitude
and longitude position. We have used following API to get the reverse
geocoding information but it has usage limitation:

 

http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml
<http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml&lat=25.236545&lon=55.
291413&zoom=18&addressdetails=1>
&lat=25.236545&lon=55.291413&zoom=18&addressdetails=1

 

Then we tried using following MapQuest API but it gives wrong address.
Instead of Dubai address it's showing Sharjah address:

 

http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/search.php?q=25.236545%2C+55.291413
<http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/search.php?q=25.236545%2C+55.29141
3&viewbox=-0.61%2C51.49%2C-0.59%2C51.48>
&viewbox=-0.61%2C51.49%2C-0.59%2C51.48

 

So now we are trying to setup our own Reverse Geocoding Database. Pls let us
know how to setup our own reverse geocoding database to get the correct
address using a latitude and longitude coordinates using OSM Extracts Data.

 

Your help in this regard will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation
of a fruitful reply.

 

Best regards

Sumit Gulati
