Is there an easy way to determine a point's region in the world based on it's latitude and longitude?
I have an entry form that a user enters in their address (city, state, and country). I then geocode this into a point that I can use on a Google Map.
However, I'd like to have it store the region of the point as well so I can use it for filtering the entry (North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia).
Is there a way to use the Google Maps API to determine the region of a geolocation?
