How can I find an address with latitude and longitude of one point in google map?

I know that for each pair of latitude and longitude one point of map is coordinated and one marker can be shown for it so every body can find lat & long of each point in map, but I don't know reverse of this feature is possible?! I mean that can I get the address of one place with knowing lat&long of it (a text format of address not screenshot of marker location!).

The term is reverse geocoding, and here is an example which uses Gmaps v3

Just look at the source code.

Use the Geocoding API component to send a request with only LatLng set and get the address from the result object in formatted_address as explained on the page.
