[ddj] Reverse Geocoding Country: Best Practice

[Matthew Linares]

Dear all,

I have a table which includes latitude/longitude values but no clean
country location. I'm presently fiddling with the Google sheets IMPORTXML
method to get a plain country field:

http://schoolofdata.org/handbook/recipes/geocoding/

...which is a bit untidy due to xPath selection on the resulting XML.

Does anyone know a slicker tool or method to achieve this? I did start by
loading the data into mapping apps and seeing if they exported with country
data but nothing I found did that.

Thanks,
Matt​​
