Hi,

This feature was added to the javascript api a week ago : 
http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2008/10/geocoding-in-reverse.html

Please add it!

If you've come across this issue, please 'star' it so we can see how many 
developers
want this feature added.  There are many features in the Maps API that have not 
yet
made it into the bindings.

2 months have passed and this functionality hasn't been available yet!
At least in my understanding, all that is needed is to overload the getLocations
method in both Geocoder class and GeocoderImpl interface, changing the first
parameter type from String to LatLng. Is it that simple, or am I missing 
something??

I wrote a while ago, when reverse geocoding wasn't even available in google 
maps api,
a reverse geocoder wrapper that uses the reverse geocoder from Nico Goeminne.

http://nicogoeminne.googlepages.com/documentation.html

But it would be nice if I could use it directly from the gwt-maps api.

Here is a patch that adds reverse geocoding functionality to the api.
The changes are the same as I thought in the previous post. I've manually 
tested it,
and it works!

I'd like to add this patch to the build.  I need to ask you to fill out a CLA.  
See:

  http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/makinggwtbetter.html#contributingcode

In the mean time, I'll work on a unit test and demo and upload it to the review 
site.

Is there a way to test without building from patched source? (ie can I download 
a jar 
somewhere?)

The patch is still out for review.  I'm waiting for Vitor to review my revised 
patch.
