    <p>You would do something like that using Google API. </p> <p>Please note you must include the google maps library for this to work. Google geocoder returns a lot of address components so you must make an educated guess as to which one will have the city. </p> <p><strong>"administrative_area_level_1"</strong> is usually what you are looking for but sometimes locality is the city you are after. </p> <p>Anyhow - more details on google response types can be found <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#GeocodingAddressTypes" rel="noreferrer">here</a> and <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#ReverseGeocoding" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.</p> <p>Below is the code that should do the trick:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"/&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/&gt; &lt;title&gt;Reverse Geocoding&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; var geocoder; if (navigator.geolocation) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(successFunction, errorFunction); } //Get the latitude and the longitude; function successFunction(position) { var lat = position.coords.latitude; var lng = position.coords.longitude; codeLatLng(lat, lng) } function errorFunction(){ alert("Geocoder failed"); } function initialize() { geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); } function codeLatLng(lat, lng) { var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng); geocoder.geocode({'latLng': latlng}, function(results, status) { if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) { console.log(results) if (results[1]) { //formatted address alert(results[0].formatted_address) //find country name for (var i=0; i&lt;results[0].address_components.length; i++) { for (var b=0;b&lt;results[0].address_components[i].types.length;b++) { //there are different types that might hold a city admin_area_lvl_1 usually does in come cases looking for sublocality type will be more appropriate if (results[0].address_components[i].types[b] == "administrative_area_level_1") { //this is the object you are looking for city= results[0].address_components[i]; break; } } } //city data alert(city.short_name + " " + city.long_name) } else { alert("No results found"); } } else { alert("Geocoder failed due to: " + status); } }); } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body onload="initialize()"&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

    1. CONot true for admin area level 1, sometimes the city name is not there. - {"long_name"=>"San Francisco", "types"=>["administrative_area_level_2", "political"] , "short_name"=>"San Francisco"}, {"long_name"=>"California", "types"=>["administrative_area_level_1", "political"], "short_name"=>"CA" }, {"long_name"=>"United States", "types"=>["country", "political"], "short_name"=>"US"}

    3. COFor V3, the {'latlng':latlng} string should be changed to 'location', as in ...geocode({'location':latlng}). This example got me almost there, but the 'latlng' string no longer seems to be valid in newer apis. See: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#GeocoderRequest for specifics.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
