Hi,
I just tried out the web service for reverse geocoding to get nearby placenames. It worked well, but I couldn't seem to find a way to return any place names other than populated places.
Is there a way to input a lat/long and get bays, areas, parks, etc returned?

I know you can enter a placename into the generic search query (http://www.geonames.org/search?q=) and get these various results... is there a way to enter a lat/long into this query, or anything like that?

Hi

There is a reverse geocoding service to return all elements. The service is called 'findNearby' :
