我熟悉两种反向地理编码API - Google Maps和foursquare。两者都有问题。考虑lat，lng = 35.699,139.707（东京）。
四方：

我只对response.venues[0].location.city条目感兴趣。不幸的是，我不懂日语，所以我不知道它是什么。好吧，谷歌说它是新宿 - 东京的特殊病房之一。

谷歌地图API是英文的，但其结果太低了。例如，城市和城镇通常用locality类型标识。这里的地方是新宿，这是东京的特殊病房之一，但它是东京管理系统的实施细节。我想让东京成为这座城市。当然，我可以搜索administrative_area_level_1型令牌而不是locality，因为他知道东京实际上是日本的一个县。
foursquare API也存在同样的问题，它将城市称为新宿，将州报告为东京，只有日语一样！
是否有任何简单的高级反向地理编码API可以返回常识结果？我的意思是，日本以外没有人说“我要去新宿”。人们说“我要去东京”。
谢谢。
Yahoo Maps API可以帮助你，因为它提供了设置精度的能力。
OpenStreetMap也有一个反向查找工具：

试试GeocodeFarm。
每个基于IP的250个免费查询，但网络服务是免费无限制的，便宜的25美元每天为您提供25,000个查询（这是我用于我的应用程序）。
结果易于理解，文档全面，正向和反向等。
您可以尝试使用Bing地图我不知道它有多准确，但您可以尝试一下
