Reverse geocoding

Another way of using it is pasting the Lat / Long coordinates directly in the box. You will get an address if one is found at that location.

For example, you can try pasting 59.329517 18.074055 and check the results.

Copy the coordinates to the clipboard

Using this button mceclip2.png you can copy the coordinates to your computer's clipboard to use it in an external application.

Note: the address format depends on the geocoder selected.
