Geocoding and Reverse-Geocoding

Geocoding is the process of finding latitude and longitude coordinates from a human-readable address. Reverse-geocoding is the process of finding a human readable address from coordinates. As of iOS 5.0, Core Location supports both, with no special terms or limitations (as with MapKit in iOS 5.1 and earlier).
