[en] Use Reverse Geocoder to coordinate latitude and longitude locations. Reverse Geocoder does this by querying and downloading data from the TomTom Reverse Geocoder API. The Reverse Geocoder tool produces a record-for-record reverse geocode result that includes formatted address fields and latitude and longitude coordinates. In addition, a summary output is produced that provides a count of records that were successfully and unsuccessfully reverse geocoded.

[en] Use Reverse Geocoder to assign address data to a spatial object or coordinates. This information can then be used to carry out further geography-based analysis.
