Feroeg - Reverse Geocoding

Two of three people I showed the Feroeg website told me that the logo was missing. The truth is that the logo was so ugly they haven't the courage to say that. So I have started to think for a 'new' logo for the Feroeg reverse geocoding service. The inspiration comes from an old sci-fi movie that was out in the 1994: Stargate. the story is based on the finding of an ancient, big ring: the stargate.

Good morning. In this first post, I want to introduce Feroeg, a free service of reverse geocoding. Reverse geocoding is the process of converting a location as described by  geographic coordinates  (latitude, longitude) to a human-readable address or place name. So, if you think that your company, or yourself, can benefit from this kind of service, please give it a try visiting my web site, www.feroeg.com . The data are taken from  OpenStreetMap . At the moment the service is at the starting phase. Other features and improvements will be added, as the posts in the blog.
