How do you make your coordinates into a name of a city ?

I've got location figured out on the weather app course, but can't figure out how to get the correct city name ?

Hi Edward,

When you request the weather data from the Open Weather project using your coordinates, part of the JSON response may be the city it corresponds to. Have you checked that?

If not, another option would be to use the Google Maps API. I believe there is a teamtreehouse course that may give you an introduction to that, and that may help you.
