I’m new to this list and GIS in general. I would like to know if Chameleon can do reverse geocoding. Or is the some other open source api that can.

Thanks

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
