I'm writing an iPhone application and trying to determine how to find a business name/address from a user's current GPS location (longitude/latitude). For example, if someone if using the application from inside a Starbucks, how can I find this out from their location? Is there a way to do this using mapkit or any API/Webservice? Many Thanks!
