Question

I am developing a GPS Server and tracking system:

1. How can I convert latitudes and longitudes data got from a GPS tracking device into address data so that the client application report be displaying road names instead of coordinates?
2. How can I map the coordinate data so that tracker position be displayed on a map i.e. google maps or vector maps?

I’ll highly appreciate your answers or suggestions

1. Use a reverse geocoder. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/#ReverseGeocoding

2. Use a mapping API like Google Maps. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/
