Question

Can I use the reverse geocoding server side, e.g. with a C# or C++?

EDIT: I get some list of longititudes and latitudes from GPS Mouse, And I need to find all the corresponds addresses and save it to database. I am not interested to show on a map.

Answer 1

As long as you display the results on a google map and stay within 2,500 requests per day, sure (100,000 if you have Google Maps API Premier). Note, though, and I quote from here:

Note: the Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited. For complete details on allowed usage, consult the Maps API Terms of Service License Restrictions.

If you satisfy the restrictions, reverse geocoding is easy from anywhere -- e.g., and again I quote:

the following query contains the latitude/longitude value for a location in Brooklyn: http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=40.714224,-73.961452&sensor=true_or_false Note: Ensure that no space exists between the latitude and longitude values when passed in the latlng parameter.

If you can't abide by the Google Maps geocoding API restrictions, why not get such services e.g from geonames.org instead?
