[GraphHopper] Get Street name and Town name of a GPS point

[Peter K]

Hi Maxime,

you fetch the nearest edge via
QueryResult res = locationIndex.findClosest(...)
res.getClosestEdge().getName()

see GraphHopper.route

Getting the corresponding town or village is not possible now in 
GraphHopper and not easy. We're working on it.

You can use a heuristic via feeding towns and there location+width into 
a quadtree (or also using the LocationIndexTree) and fetch the closest 
town for every edge. If you have online access this is easy via 
Nominatim or other geocoders.

Regards,
Peter.
