Can I get the country information just from Latitude and Longitude of the user? I know it should be easy to get it from Geocoder APIs from Google. But is it possible to derive that information without using any services like Google's?

Could you please let me know?

The only way of doing this is by using a third party API or creating your own database, which is a lot more work that it's worth. Have you looked to see if there is a GeoIP database that you can download for your programming language of choice (Or a generic one?)

Edit: This looks like it might have the data you need

  • We have to do that using JavaScript and Application cache.Size limit is a concern in our case. – Apps Jul 03 '12 at 16:41
