Is there a meteor package to get a state if I enter a city or lat long coord?

Question

I have searched stackexchange but can't find a module that creates the relationship between city, state and country.

If this doesn't exist then could you point me to a scheme db to recreate this. I also didn't want to fill out the db with this region hierarchy but if it doesn't exist then I'll use the db scheme you can recommend.

Thank you,

V.

Answer 1

There isn't an existing package afaik but you can use (for example), the google maps geocoding api directly from Meteor.

Answer 2

Not directly in meteor, but you can use https://atmospherejs.com/dburles/google-maps, to inject google maps api in meteor, and then you can use the geoCoder to get the text location from the latitude and longitude.
