# Reverse Geocoding
Immich supports local [Reverse Geocoding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_geocoding) using data from the [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/) geographical database. This data is loaded into the Postgres database on each minor version upgrade, allowing all queries to be run on your own server.
## Extraction
During Exif Extraction, assets with latitudes and longitudes are reverse geocoded to determine their City, State, and Country.
## Usage
Data from a reverse geocode is displayed in the image details, and used in [Smart Search](/docs/features/searching.md).
