To access the underlying program of the reverse geocoder from an application using a SOAP interface, the following syntax applies:
http://maps.huge.info/reverse.pl?SOAP=Y&POINT=(lat,lng)
Each IP is allowed 150 "hits" on this program for every 2 hours. Once the limit has been reached, 2 hours must pass before resuming or the lock will be extended another 2 hours. Adding the SOAP=Y parameter returns a more SOAP friendly format, omitting this parameter returns xml for use in the Google Maps API.
Example:
reverse.pl?SOAP=Y&POINT=(37.423655,-122.088431)
Returns:
<georf>
<info hitrem="139"/>
