Can you give an example of what you mean by location name?
And can you provide a link to a Google Map that shows a location name?

Okay, then you need to use an API such as the Google Maps API for that. I believe it’s called Reverse Geocoding. You might try Google Maps Places: [ภาพรวม | Places API | Google Developers](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/overview)
