You can't "calculate" a city ... it's not as if
they were named by where they are located. Once
you have latitude & longitude, you need a database
of city locations to look things up in. Once you
have that, the technique isn't too difficult.
Now ... -where- you can get such a database, I
don't know. Perhaps the USGS? Or find a good
atlas and be prepared to do a lot of typing...
