Reverse Geocode Requests

This endpoint converts a GPS coordinate into an address-like representation.
This geocoding service is designed to provide a GPS coordinate accurate within 3 decimal places of precision (or roughly 100 meters). This may still be overly-specific for the purposes of weather forecasting, but tends to provide better results when reverse geocoding a GPS coordinate back into an address-like representation.
For more details on the capabilities and constraints of this geocoding service, see the discussion at the Forward Geocode resource.

Query Parameters
