What would be the purpose for this kind of interaction? Introduce new points or move the map view to the typed location?
The former. At the moment I go to http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ to find out the coordinates of a city/location. It would be great to automate this. A user would then only have to give loc
and the address lookup feature would output the coordinates automatically.
Maybe Fairphone will provide workforce to implement this.
The more I think about this, the more I think this should be done on the FP server side. Together with the GUI for entering data, they could provide a field with a drop down that automatically lets you choose a city/address as you type. Thus only coordinates would get passed to the map.
It would be great, if people could just type in their location and the map would find out longitude and latitude on its own.
