Hi,

Is there any way to define in which city a certain longitude/latitude falls? something like http://www.geonames.org/export/web-services.html#countrycode but which returns city name instead of country name. I tried using findeNearbyPlaceName but this Web service returns neighborhoods inside cities (which is too deep for my case).

Thank you in advance for your kind attention.

You could filter the records you need your self of use the findNearby service and restrict it with the correct feature codes.
