Add OSM support (Nominatim) #4

Open terry90 opened 7 years ago

terry90 commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I would suggest the support of OpenStreetMap with Nominatim geocoder. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim

The limits are not so restrictive, it is about 1 request per sec. (useful for fallback)

I will work on it as soon as I have some spare time. (may take long)

@terry90 I very much agree 👍

You can use my previous Geocoder written in Python as reference.

The intent with this Javascript geocoder was really to make it as modular as possible, looking forward to merge your PR, don't worry if it's not the 100% solution, I'll help out to tidy it up.
