Search OpenStreetMap first #6

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

I think Google should be used as a fall-back method if the address is not already in OpenStreetMap. Nominatim is a well-used geocoder, and the MapQuest instance is acceptable for heavy use.

Mapzen Search is another possibility.

I've finally gotten a chance to look into mapzen and it is very cool. I think that will probably my next goal. I'll have to incorporate some kind of poi lookup if I do though. I wonder if there are any other point of interest api's that are open.
