Ask HN: What are some good tools for converting GPS data into a location name?

I am working on a web-based application and I want to read in GPS coordinates provided by the user's browser and output a specific location such as the name of a city or other locality.

Thanks for any tips.

If by chance you're using Ruby on Rails, then http://www.rubygeocoder.com/ is great.
