Are there any ways to get information about different places (cities, mountains, rivers , etc) via latitude/longtitude?
I’m planning to use it in my rails project.
Of course, it will be perfect to use information from wiki. Any example of searching over wiki via lat/lon?
May be any other technology/website/api?
You may also check the Geocoder gem to find address by latitude and longtitude. Then you can use wiki api to find articles, like this:
en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=”place_name”&prop=info&format=xml
Or, maybe wikilocation will help you
