Hi Matt, I'm not sure I understood what you mean..but maybe a batch reverse geocoding service does what you need? 

There are plenty, depending on how what suits the structure of your data & desired output:

Ogg: [ddj] Reverse Geocoding Country: Best Practice



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​​
