The goal of rreversegeocoder is to, given latitude and longitude, find the nearest city in US.
You can install the development version of rreversegeocoder from GitHub with:
remotes::install_github("jrosell/rreversegeocoder")
This is a basic example which shows you how to get all the geoname information from a given latitude and longitude in US:
library(tidyverse)
library(tidymodels)
library(rreversegeocoder)
cites <- download_cities_with_population_5000()
input <- tribble(
~latitude, ~longitude,
34.6, -120,
34.1, -100
)
output <- input |>
bind_cols(reverse_geocoder_us_cities_with_population_5000(input)) |>
left_join(cites, by = "geonameid")
glimpse(output)
