I couldn't find a geocoding service which is 100% free, except Nominatim. But Nominatim has inconsistent data and return on different locations in the same county similar, but different names. (e.g. in Bremen, it returns "Bremen" or "Stadtgebiet Bremen")

There are many cachers how want to find a cache in every county. I think that is the intention for that request.
Describe the solution you'd like
Adding the information to the cache information to the state and country information.
Additional context
We can use the OSM API
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?lat=<lat>&lon=<lon>&format=json
For Example: GC8NA1H - https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?lat=53.16217&lon=8.78133&format=jsonOr GCA4YT5 https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?lat=53.16152&lon=8.79993&format=json
As you see, if there is no county, we need a fallback to city. We might show the
display_name
astitle
, so that everything is displayed on hover
