[android-developers] Re: Reverse Geocoding
The mapping data near your location may not be granular enough to give you
a better result.

[android-developers] Re: Reverse geocoding
I was playing around with this very concept a while back. Turns out at the time (I haven't checked recently) that you had to do one location at a time. It would be nice if you could pass the geocoder multiple points and get multiple results back. So, I ended up doing what you did - pick a center location and calculate several other points within a specified radius and then passing each one to the geocoder. It was really slow.
