    to/from geographical coordinates</desc>
  </info>

<title>Geocode-glib</title>

  <p>
    Geocode-glib provides <em>geocoding</em> and <em>reverse geocoding</em>.
    Geocoding is the process of translating an address ("123 High Street,
    SomeTown, SomeCountry") to a pair of latitude/longitude values.  Reverse
    geocoding is the opposite process.
  </p>

  <p>
    Geocode-glib uses the Yahoo! Place Finder API internally to
    do its work.  In the future it will support the free Nominatim
    service and OpenStreetMap data.
