First of all, great job! I look forward to using this package in the future.

I just gave it a quick test and it works just as expected. One thing that jumps out though;

In order to select a location, i need to pan around and zoom in manually, all the way to get to the exact location. I've often added "location" fields to objects like "office locations", many of which can be spread out world-wide. It would be extremely helpful to have, say, a search input as part of the leaflet widget. Something similar to the one on openstreetmap itself.

Of course, this could be an optional feature. I just think it would make the difference between "neat, but not quite what we need", and "let's switch to WLW and never look back"

Hey @mwesterhof This is actually a feature I would like to implement. Maybe implement the nominatim geocoding tool. I will find time and try it.
