Nice product

Find nearest address looks to work for the US, but not Canada. I tried http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat=51&lng=-114
which should be Calgary, Alberta. But it comes back with nothing

But the one below (in the US
http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress?lat=37.98100996893789&lng=-87.50335693359375
works fine

Is there a timeline on adding Canadian data?

Thanks

Jason

Hi Jason

The "find nearest address" service only supports US addresses for lack of freely available data everywhere else on the planet. As long as we don't have access to the data required to run a service like this one I don't see any possibility of offering a free service for it.

If I find it for you, would you add it?

We would definitely look at it. I cannot promise anything without having seen the data.
