Compare GReverseGeocder v1.0.5 vs GeoNames findNearestAddressJSON

The 'address' reverse geocoding service of GeoNames is only available in the US, they do have a reverse geocoding service to find the nearby place (town/city), postal or country codes. These services are available for other countries as well. The GReverseGeocoder covers more of the globe. Then again if you don't need to go down to street level GeoNames services are (a bit) faster and have a REST interface!

Both services provide roughly the same data, but it is structured a differently. I mached the corresponding properties as good as possible. I also enabled street level support for the GReverseGeocoder and limited the number of requests to 5 per http session.
