Using the MKReverseGeocoder or GoogleAPI or MapKit...

Is there a simple way to turn a latitude/longitude into "nearest major cross-streets"?

A user might not have any idea where "12345 Pineapple" is located... so I want to show something like "Pineapple and Main"... or (larger, major roads) like "US-140 and Hwy 76".

I don't really care what "major" is defined as... perhaps any road with higher speed limits... or more than 3 lanes... etc.

I don't really care what "close by" is defines as... perhaps within 0-10 miles... or just "closest found".
