GPS-related

Hi, this is my first post ever - yay!

Anyways - could someone explain to me how to get the name of the city I am
in by using the coordinates of my iPhone?

Is there an API somewhere that I don't know about?

Thanks in advance!

GeoNames. You will have to put the databases on your own sever, iMob killed their online service for iPhones.
