The Location Hierarchy Finder performs reverse geocoding: it takes a pair of coordinates and turns it back into named places. Instead of a single address, it returns the full administrative ladder for the point — continent, country, region, district, and municipality — the official layers of government that the location sits inside.
That ladder is what most data work actually needs. A latitude and longitude on their own cannot be grouped, filtered, or taxed; knowing the point is in Europe, Poland, Masovia, Warsaw makes it usable for reporting and analysis.
Click the map or enter coordinates, and the tool looks up which administrative area the point falls inside at every level, using high-resolution administrative boundary data enriched with OpenStreetMap details. The result is the complete hierarchy from continent down to municipality, with a link to view the matched area on OpenStreetMap.
Because the lookup is boundary-based rather than address-based, it works anywhere — including places with no street address, like fields, forests, or offshore points near the coast.
Add country, region, and municipality columns to datasets that only contain coordinates, making them ready for grouping and reporting.
Assign leads, customers, or stores to territories based on the administrative region their coordinates fall inside.
Determine which jurisdiction a location belongs to when rules, rates, or reporting requirements differ by country or region.
Check that geocoded points really land in the expected country or municipality, and catch swapped or truncated coordinates.
Regular geocoding turns a place name or address into coordinates; reverse geocoding does the opposite — it takes latitude and longitude and tells you what named places that point sits inside.
The tool returns the full hierarchy: continent, country, region (such as a state or province), district, and municipality. Exact naming varies by country, since each one structures its levels differently.
Lookups are based on high-resolution administrative boundary data, enriched with details from OpenStreetMap, and each result links to the matched area on OpenStreetMap so you can verify it.
Yes. Upload a CSV with latitude and longitude columns from the MapGO dashboard and the administrative hierarchy is appended to every row in bulk.
