Determining location information using a location data point provided by a computing device

摘要

A system and method for determining location information using a location data point provided by a computing device is described. A location data point is received by a system from a client computing device. The system determines whether the location data point is within a predefined region from a plurality of predefined regions configured by a user of the system. If the location data point is within a predefined region, location information corresponding to the predefined region is transmitted to the client device. If the location data point is not within a predefined region, one or more third-party reverse geocoding services can be used that translates the location data point to a street address.

1. A method for providing a transport service, the method being implemented by one or more processors and comprising:
receiving coordinates for a location of interest from a mobile computing device of a user; selecting one or more reverse geocoding sources from a plurality of reverse geocoding sources, wherein selecting one or more reverse geocoding sources is based at least in part on a preference of the user; selecting a mapping source from a plurality of mapping sources; obtaining, from the selected one or more reverse geocoding sources, geographic information about a region of the location of interest; obtaining, from the selected mapping source, mapping information for the region of the location of interest; and determining content for a map interface based on the geographic information and the mapping information.
