This isn't a bug report. It is a feature request, but there isn't an option for that...

https://developer.android.com/training/location/display-address

Would like to propose that the location property optionally does reverse geocoding. It can send a more detailed location property...

Specifically, the location property can be, if you use json encoding, a nested h-adr with the coordinates and details on the location.

I've been doing this on the backend, but Android has a native integration for it, it looks like.

Oh wow, this is cool. I always thought you'd need an external service for this, although I can imagine, geocoder probably connects with Google .. :)

(ps: I've added the feature request template as well)

As a follow up to this, what about an optional textbox for a textual location description as a precursor to trying to figure it out yourself?

The property is location for textual address, but if you also have coordinates you would need a nested h-adr.

What if I implement a Micropub query for the location name?

So you can query the endpoint?

So that the endpoint does the reverse geolocation based on coordinates ? That might be an option yes, especially for phones that do not support it. But let me get it working natively first.

I have the functionality, I just have to tie it to the query as outlined in the https://indieweb.org/Micropub-brainstorming#Query_for_places

I've outlined the return I've implemented in the above issue. You can query by uri=geouri or lat=&lon= and it will return a venue and a geo property. I'm only returning the geo property, which contains a name property for the suggested name right now.

Ok, there's now an optional label field and a query button to search on q=geo.

If there's a location name, it's appended to the geoUri:

geo:51.019903,3.7716038,0.0;name=Melle Vogelhoek

It's a setting underneath 'Posts' to expose two new features.
