OSM Limitation in `get_location()` #25

Open lmikhelashvili opened 1 year ago

lmikhelashvili commented 1 year ago

Appears that the OSM apparently does not have English names for many places - Philipps-Universität Marburg works, but evidently, the other version is used in affiliations. That is a limitation we need to fix at some point.

Possibly use https://opencagedata.com/demo - that automatically falls back to the smallest unit recognised - i.e. resolves this to Marburg - and free tier is quite generous ...

@lmikhelashvili my last comment is not intended to be a todo for you - unless you have the time :)

Or actually use tidygeocoder package that has the option to use geocode_combine with cascade = TRUE, to first try OSM and then move to other services for those that have failed.
