ZoneDetect

This is a C library that allows you to find an area a point belongs to using a database file. A typical example would be looking up the country or timezone given a latitude and longitude.

The API should be self-explanatory from zonedetect.h. A small demo is included (demo.c)

In the future (after cleanup) I will also commit the program used to convert shapefiles to the binary database files, a merged country+timezone file and an automated testsuite.

Online API

You can test the library using an online API: https://api.bertold.org/geozone It takes the following GET parameters:

  • lat: Latitude.
  • lon: Longitude.
  • c: Set to one (c=1) to produce compact JSON.

For example: https://api.bertold.org/geozone?lat=51&lon=5
Please do not use this API in an application that will result in a lot of server load :)
