Making the Web Service call http://api.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat=37.451&lng=-122.18&username=demo (I used demo rather than my own account for security purposes) returns nothing, but the Web GUI returns three approximate addresses (see below). Any help with this is appreciated as I think there might be an issue with the web service.

the max distance is limited to 200m per default. You can increase it with the parameter 'radius':
