ahhh clever......

Hmmm how about -
http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyPla...lat=47.3&lng=9

(notice the basic lat + long sent in - and it returns an xml - nearest city, country code and country name )

Code:
<geonames>
−
<geoname>
<name>Atzmännig</name>
<lat>47.287633</lat>
<lng>8.988454</lng>
<geonameId>6559633</geonameId>
<countryCode>CH</countryCode>
<countryName>Switzerland</countryName>
<fcl>P</fcl>
<fcode>PPL</fcode>
<distance>1.6276</distance>
</geoname>
