# MKReverseGeocodingRequest A class that looks up address strings for the provided geographic coordinates. ``` class MKReverseGeocodingRequest ``` ## Discussion Use this class to look up an address by a coordinate you provide. This example shows how to use a modifier on a SwiftUI view to reverse geocodes an array of coordinates to the corresponding addresses that MapKit returns in an array of [`MKMapItem`](/documentation/MapKit/MKMapItem) objects. ```swift struct MyReverseGeocoderView: View { let fountainCoordinates = [ CLLocation(latitude: 39.042617, longitude: -94.587526), CLLocation(latitude: 40.774313, longitude: -73.970835), CLLocation(latitude: -33.870986, longitude: 151.211786), CLLocation(latitude: 41.875790, longitude: -87.618953), ] // An array that holds resolved information about the fountains. @State var fountains: [MKMapItem] = [] var body: some View { // SwiftUI body views } .task { var fountainMapItems = [MKMapItem]() for coordinate in fountainCoordinates { if let request = MKReverseGeocodingRequest(location: coordinate) { let mapitems = try? await request.mapItems if let mapitem = mapitems?.first { fountainMapItems.append(mapitem) } } } fountains = fountainMapItems // The fountains `MKMapItems` array contains information describing // details about the following places based on the provided coordinates: // // Mill Creek Park Fountain, Kansas City, Missouri // Bethesda Terrace Fountain, Central Park, New York City // Archibald Fountain, Sydney, Australia // Buckingham Fountain, Chicago, Illinois } } ``` ## Topics ### Creating a request object [`- initWithLocation:`](/documentation/MapKit/MKReverseGeocodingRequest/init(location:)) Initializes a new reverse geocoder request object with the provided location. ### Getting the reverse geocoder’s state [`loading`](/documentation/MapKit/MKReverseGeocodingRequest/isLoading) A Boolean value that indicates whether the current reverse geocoding request is in a loading state. [`cancelled`](/documentation/MapKit/MKReverseGeocodingRequest/isCancelled) A Boolean value that indicates whether the current reverse geocoding request is in a cancelled state. [`location`](/documentation/MapKit/MKReverseGeocodingRequest/location) The location provided to the initializer. ### Controlling the reverse geocoder’s operation [`- cancel`](/documentation/MapKit/MKReverseGeocodingRequest/cancel()) A method you call to cancel a reverse geocoding request that’s in progress. ### Getting information about map items and the reverse geocoder’s locale’ [`- getMapItemsWithCompletionHandler:`](/documentation/MapKit/MKReverseGeocodingRequest/getMapItems(completionHandler:)) Returns the map items relevant to the reverse geocoded location. [`preferredLocale`](/documentation/MapKit/MKReverseGeocodingRequest/preferredLocale) A value that indicates the preferred locale for the addresses the request returns, or `nil` if the framework should use the device locale. ## Relationships ### Conforms To [`CVarArg`](/documentation/Swift/CVarArg) [`Hashable`](/documentation/Swift/Hashable) [`Equatable`](/documentation/Swift/Equatable) [`CustomStringConvertible`](/documentation/Swift/CustomStringConvertible) [`NSObjectProtocol`](/documentation/ObjectiveC/NSObjectProtocol) [`CustomDebugStringConvertible`](/documentation/Swift/CustomDebugStringConvertible) ### Inherits From [`NSObject-swift.class`](/documentation/ObjectiveC/NSObject-swift.class) --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
