Reverse Geocoding?

Howdy folks,

I know a lot of people (Google, Yahoo, others) offer geocoding, I am looking for a Web service for reverse geocoding.

For instance, I have a latitude and longitude and I would like to get an approximate street address for them.

I haven't found anything that's working all that well for me so I thought I would ask here.

Any ideas?

Thanks, H

I'm using the geocoder.us database for geocoding, it should also be a decent base for reverse geocoding. It's just a dbm file so it shouldn't be too much work to look at it and figure out how to query it. Downloading and compiling the TIGERLINE files into the dbm file takes some time though.
