Hi,

The Reverse Geocoding Webservice findNearbyPlaceName only returns Name,GeonameId,Lat,Lng and CountyCode.

Is there any way to get more detail information of the geoname?

Or is there any other service which can provide Detail data from GeonameId?

Thanks and Regards
Sameer

Hi Sameer

The service findNearbyPlaceName takes now an argument "style" with the possible values SHORT,MEDIUM,LONG,FULL (default = MEDIUM).

Hi,

findNearbyPlaceName does not seem to return the alternateNames entries.
Would it be possible to include also that information? Or can I get the name entries with some other way?

Hi Timo

This is fixed now. The findNearbyPlaceName returns the alternateNames element.
