GeoNames Forum

Hey, I am trying to use reverse geocoding to poplate addresses from my website. https://summercampcatalog.com/ It's just a couple lists of outdoor places to go to, with some notes.

I have the lat/long auto-populate with location data, and use geonames to get the address with the url:

https://secure.geonames.org/addressJSON?lat=41.12384&lng=-112.0108544&username=[myusername]

for example. In any case, almost always I get back an empty json set "{}".

If I try to use something like findNearestAddressJSON? it's waaaayy off doesn't even get the city half the time. When address does work, it's great, dead on... but I don't know... what am I missing here?

as the camps are off the next street you have to increase the search radius by adding &radius=1000 to the query.
