Google Map Reverse Geocode action is used to convert given geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude) into address information. When a user selects a location or the device sends its GPS location, this action returns the corresponding address (street, neighborhood, city, etc.). It is frequently preferred in map-based applications, location-based services, and address verification processes.

Technical Specifications

• Function: Coordinate → Address conversion (Reverse Geocoding).
• Parameters:
  
  • settings (Object – required): Connection settings required for Google Maps integration.
  • latitude (Double – required): Latitude value.
  • longitude (Double – required): Longitude value.
• Result: Singular (One) → returns the address information for the relevant coordinates.
• Value Binding:
  
  • Can be entered as a Fixed Value.
  • Can be obtained dynamically from device GPS data or a selection on the map.
• Web & Mobile Support: Can be used in both web and mobile applications.

Google Map Reverse Geocode Application Steps

1. Adding an Action

• Open the screen in your Kuika project where the address will be obtained from the location.
• Add the UI Design → + ADD ACTION → Google → Google Map Reverse Geocode action.

2. Configuring Parameters

• settings: Google Maps settings are selected.
• latitude / longitude:
  
  • Fixed use → latitude = 39.9208, longitude = 32.8541.
  • Dynamic use → GPS location obtained from the device or a map point selected by the user.

Usage Scenario: “Converting GPS Location to Address”

In a delivery application, when the courier's GPS location is obtained, these coordinates are converted to address format.

Steps:

1. The information latitude = 41.0082, longitude = 28.9784 is obtained from the courier's device.
2. Google Map Reverse Geocode runs.
3. Result returned: “Sultanahmet, Fatih, Istanbul, Turkey”.
4. This address is automatically filled in the app.

Google Map Reverse Geocode Advanced Customizations

• Live Location: The user's current location can be continuously reverse geocoded to find the current address.
• Address Verification: When the user manually enters an address, it can be verified by comparing it with the coordinates.
• Route Preparation: The returned address information can be linked to the Google Map Directions action to prepare a route.

Technical Risks and Controls

• Incorrect or zero (0,0) coordinates may return meaningless results.
• Less precise coordinates (e.g., representing only the city center) may return more general addresses.
• An error may occur when Google Maps API quota limits are exceeded.
