The reverse geo coding could be done using nominatim server:
"https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?lat="+item.lat+"&lon="+item.lon+"&format=json";

I am not sure which exif field should be used for that purpose.

Reverse geocoding is the process of converting a location as described by geographic coordinates to a human-readable address or place name
