This is the opposite of forward geocoding (address to coordinates). Both are available on GPSwitch.
GPSwitch queries OpenStreetMap Nominatim and cross-references Google Places to return the most accurate address. The result includes:
Accuracy depends on map coverage. Urban areas return precise street addresses. Rural coordinates return the nearest locality or region.
