About this tool
This tool is a web-based reverse geocoding utility built on top of Leaflet and the HERE Reverse Geocoding API.
It allows a user to:
• Click anywhere on the interactive HERE-based Leaflet map to retrieve the exact geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude).
• Instantly perform a reverse geocoding request using the HERE revgeocode API to obtain the nearest address to the clicked point.
• Automatically populate a clean, dynamic Selectize.js dropdown with the returned address, clearly marked as a reverse-geocoded result.
• Visualize the selected location with a custom Placematic marker, complete with a popup showing longitude and latitude.
• Explore the full API interaction, including:
• The exact CURL request sent to the HERE Reverse Geocoding API,
• The complete JSON response, formatted and syntax-highlighted for readability.
• Copy or download both the request and response for debugging, documentation, or integration into other systems.
This tool is designed as a developer-friendly helper for testing, understanding, and integrating the HERE Reverse Geocoding stack. It provides immediate, visual feedback and exposes all request/response details, making it ideal for:
• API prototyping
• GIS workflows
• QA testing and troubleshooting
• Developer onboarding
• Demonstrating how HERE Reverse Geocoding behaves in real time
• Building location-based or map-driven applications that rely on coordinate-to-address lookups
Built for modern web workflows inside the Placematic environment, the tool offers a clean and efficient way to interact with HERE’s global geocoding infrastructure and to visualize the relationship between map coordinates and real-world addresses.
