Get address from latitude / longitude?

I don’t know what context you want to use it in, or how good your PHP is, but if you’ve got the image ID and it’s assigned to $imgID

if (class_exists('exifography')) {
	$exif = new exifography();
	$imgmeta = wp_get_attachment_metadata($imgID);
	if (isset($imgmeta['image_meta']['latitude'])) {
				if ($imgmeta['image_meta']['latitude'])
					$latitude = $imgmeta['image_meta']['latitude'];
				if ($imgmeta['image_meta']['longitude'])
					$longitude = $imgmeta['image_meta']['longitude'];
				if ($imgmeta['image_meta']['latitude_ref'])
					$lat_ref = $imgmeta['image_meta']['latitude_ref'];
				if ($imgmeta['image_meta']['longitude_ref'])
					$lng_ref = $imgmeta['image_meta']['longitude_ref'];

				$lat = $exif->geo_single_fracs2dec($latitude);
				$lng = $exif->geo_single_fracs2dec($longitude);
				if ($lat_ref == 'S') { $neg_lat = '-'; } else { $neg_lat = ''; }
				if ($lng_ref == 'W') { $neg_lng = '-'; } else { $neg_lng = ''; }

				$geo_coords['lat'] = $neg_lat . number_format($lat,6) ;
 				$geo_coords['lng'] = $neg_lng . number_format($lng, 6);

		return $geo_coords;
	}
}

Thank you for your effort.

I tried it and I get nothing. Also I do not how to combine your function and function from above link to get location as plain text.

In source code of location image (Google map) there is latitude / longitude as decimal numbers. I thought, since there is option to get image (map) of location where image is taken it would be great to get name of that place too.

When I open source image and copy parts of it (latitude / longitude as decimal numbers) inside PHP code from here:
https://99webtools.com/php-reverse-geocoding.php

I get location of image (as text). I think it would be nice to have image of location and text where is it (text returned from Google).

Please provide any code you are using and tell me which files you are using it in so I can see how to best help.

I wish to get that info on post page (single.php file).

I tried this, and it is working (if I manually enter latitude and longitude, as decimal numbers).

<?
function getaddress($lat,$lng)
{
$url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng='.trim($lat).','.trim($lng).'&sensor=false';
$json = @file_get_contents($url);
$data=json_decode($json);
$status = $data->status;
if($status=="OK")
return $data->results[0]->formatted_address;
else
return false;
}
?>

<?
$lat= 26.754347; //latitude
$lng= 81.001640; //longitude
$address= getaddress($lat,$lng);
if($address)
{
echo $address;
}
else
{
echo "Not found";
}
?>

On your site I found function to get get latitude / longitude as pretty numbers like:
Latitude: 26° 45′ 15.6486″
Longitude: 81° 0′ 5.9034″

Very useful too, thanks.

What is my plan?

I wish to display more information, standard is just image map of location. I added location as latitude/longitude, and would be great to get location as text too (in example coordinates above it is: Nagram – Nilmatha Road…).

Sorry for the delay…

We can adapt code from this post:

function show_numeric_geo($imgID) {
	if (class_exists('exifography')) {
		$exif = new exifography();
		if (empty($imgID))
			$imgID = get_post_thumbnail_id();
		$allmeta = wp_get_attachment_metadata($imgID);
		$imgmeta = $allmeta['image_meta'];

		if (isset($imgmeta['latitude'])) {
			if ($imgmeta['latitude'])
				$latitude = $imgmeta['latitude'];
			if ($imgmeta['longitude'])
				$longitude = $imgmeta['longitude'];
			if ($imgmeta['latitude_ref'])
				$lat_ref = $imgmeta['latitude_ref'];
			if ($imgmeta['longitude_ref'])
				$lng_ref = $imgmeta['longitude_ref'];

			$lat = $exif->geo_single_fracs2dec($latitude);
			$lng = $exif->geo_single_fracs2dec($longitude);
			if ($lat_ref == 'S') { $neg_lat = '-'; } else { $neg_lat = ''; }
			if ($lng_ref == 'W') { $neg_lng = '-'; } else { $neg_lng = ''; }

			$lat = $neg_lat . number_format($lat,6);
			$lng = $neg_lng . number_format($lng, 6);
		}
	}

	echo getaddress($lat,$lng);
}

The above function combined with your reverse geo lookup will display the address. You can add the image ID as a parameter. E.g., show_numeric_geo(123); Or, if you don’t use an image ID it will use the featured image ID.
