[Chameleon] reverse geocoding

[Paul Spencer]

Steven,

no, Chameleon cannot do reverse geocoding.  I'm not aware of an open  
source API that provides this capability.  Besides an open source  
package, you would also need some kind of data set for the country you  
want to reverse geocode in, the data is often not free.

Google, Yahoo and Microsoft offer various levels of API support for  
free (not open source)

Cheers

Paul
