Maps API for JavaScript 3.x
The current 3.x JavaScript API offers a thin wrapper around the REST Geocoder API. You need to make a ReverseGeocode search, and then extract the data from the Location object(s) found in the result.
A fully working reverse geocoding example can be found here, but the important bit (getting the address) can be see below:
function reverseGeocode(platform) {
var geocoder = platform.getGeocodingService(),
reverseGeocodingParameters = {
prox: '52.5309,13.3847,150', // Location
mode: 'retrieveAddresses',
maxresults: '1',
jsonattributes : 1
};
geocoder.reverseGeocode(
reverseGeocodingParameters,
function (result) {
var locations = result.response.view[0].result;
// ... etc.
},
function (error) {
alert('Ooops!');
}
);
}
Maps API for JavaScript 2.x (deprecated)
With the recently deprecated 2.x JavaScript API, again you need to make a ReverseGeocode search, and then extract the data from the Address object found in the result.
The code is a bit longer, but the important bit (getting the address) can be seen below:
// Function for receiving search results from places search and process them
var processResults = function (data, requestStatus, requestId) {
var i, len, locations, marker;
if (requestStatus == "OK") {
// The function findPlaces() and reverseGeoCode() of return results in slightly different formats
locations = data.results ? data.results.items : [data.location];
// We check that at least one location has been found
if (locations.length > 0) {
for (i = 0, len = locations.length; i < len; i++) {
alert(locations[i].address.street);
alert(locations[i].address.state);
}
} else {
alert("Your search produced no results!");
}
} else {
alert("The search request failed");
}
};
/* We perform a reverse geocode search request: translating a given
* latitude & longitude into an address
*/
var reverseGeoCodeTerm = new nokia.maps.geo.Coordinate(
52.53099,
13.38455
);
nokia.places.search.manager.reverseGeoCode({
latitude: reverseGeoCodeTerm.latitude,
longitude: reverseGeoCodeTerm.longitude,
onComplete: processResults
});
