If your app or website needs to connect locations with administrative areas, like constituencies or counties, MapIt can save you a lot of time.
MapIt is mature, trusted and widely deployed. And it is available as a hosted API or a self-deployed web service, to suit your needs.
So 48.85, 2.35 becomes Paris.

Deploy an instance and fill it with whatever boundaries you want.
