Use Google reverse geo-coding api for Weather location name #162

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Yahoo reverse geocoding seems to be bad, especially out of the US, and anyway 
at my location, in Belgium.

I'd suggest to use the Google API 
(https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/#ReverseGeocoding) 
which is also used in Beautiful Widgets (IIRC) and which works perfectly.

If pull requests are accepted, I can code it if it's ok for you.

Nevermind, seems Google API does not allow this unless on a Google Maps.

I'd suggest Mapquest/Openstreetmap api instead
