What is the TomTom Orbis Maps Reverse Geocoding API?

The TomTom Orbis Maps Reverse Geocoding API gives users a tool to translate a coordinate (for example: -122.3862, 37.786505) into a human-understandable street address, street element, or geography. Most often, this is needed in tracking applications where you receive a GPS feed from the device or asset and you want to know the address.
