Find the State given Latitude and Longitude Coordinates
algorithm, geolocation
Solution
Google provide a Geocoding service. Part of this is reverse geocoding which converts geographic coordinates into a human-readable address including States. This Demo illustrates what can be done. There are limits to what you can do with this service.
Problem
I have a set of 900 Latitude and Longitude Coordinates-- I need a relatively simple method for finding the 'State' referred to by these coordinates. If it helps, the data is in excel.
