rreversegeocoder

The goal of rreversegeocoder is to, given latitude and longitude, find the nearest city in US.

Installation

You can install the development version of rreversegeocoder from GitHub with:

remotes::install_github("jrosell/rreversegeocoder")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to get all the geoname information from a given latitude and longitude in US:

library(tidyverse)
library(tidymodels)
library(rreversegeocoder)

cites <- download_cities_with_population_5000()

input <- tribble(
    ~latitude, ~longitude,
    34.6, -120,
    34.1, -100
)

output <- input |>
    bind_cols(reverse_geocoder_us_cities_with_population_5000(input)) |>
    left_join(cites, by = "geonameid")

glimpse(output)
