find nearest ocean to point #8

Hello, This library appears to do everything I need, except one. Is it possible to find out if a particular set of coordinates falls within a body of water? Geonames has a web service that does this, but trying to find a way to do this offline. Thanks!

Hi @jfayre ,

Your title ("find nearest ocean to point") and question ("possible to find out if a particular set of coordinates falls within a body of water") are two totally different things. However, NGeoNames can't do either unfortunately.
