i am not sure but maybe if you use google maps or nokia here maps , it would help because these maps would have some APIs exposed to serve your purpose(some API that could tell you the place name if co-ordinates are entered)....try googling them

You want to know the city, given a set of latitude/longitude coordinates.

This is called reverse geocoding.

This is usually accomplished by using a web service. Many providers offer this for free, although usually with some limitations.

The Google Geocoding API[^]

MapQuest Geocoding API[^]

MapQuest Open Geocoding API[^]

Yahoo BOSS Geoservices[^]

Bing Maps REST Services[^]

7 free Geocoding APIs[^]

Many of these offer .NET APIs, and if they don't there are usually 3rd-party APIs, including some on this website.

Performing this task offline is generally not done, however you can purchase databases that will facilitate doing so.
