Hi, It seems that the geonames backend is not working anymore. When using it, the server is answering me: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <geonames> <status message="the deprecated ws.geonames.org servers are currently overloaded with requests please use the api.geonames.org domain." value="22"/> </geonames> Recompiling the backend to update the hostname, I get: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <geonames> <status message="Please add a username to each call in order for geonames to be able to identify the calling application and count the credits usage." value="10"/> </geonames> The backend call this URL on the server: GET /findNearby?lat=-51&lng=4.2000000000000002&featureCode=PPL&featureCode=PPLA&featureCode=PPLC&featureCode=PPLG&featureCode=PPLL&featureCode=PPLR&featureCode=PPLS&maxRows=1&style=FULL HTTP/1.0
You can use geocode-glib to access this service (Its already using the new Placefinder API). The plan is to remove geocoding and reverse geocoding from geoclue: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2011-May/msg00072.html http://git.gnome.org/browse/geocode-glib
