In case anyone is wondering:

Reverse geocode is `coordinates -> address`.

Geocoding is `address -> coordinates`.

Added CLI and import to Python

I just did something similar with openstreetmaps last week. In my case I tried the other way around (finding similar addresses)

I benchmarked fts(sqllite) Vs typesense.

Which I can only recommend for such tasks.

btw I also tried the python import but it was unusable (for Germany) slow so I switched to osmtools and exported it to Jason first which is way faster.

Kinda OT but in that context, anyone know of a minimal reverse geocoding yhat has resolution of country, state, county for The entire world?

With mobile devices size matters…
