Geocoding search for various services #27

Closed mgottholsen closed 6 years ago

mgottholsen commented 6 years ago

I anticipate several services that will need a geocoding component. Integration with Mapzen would be a good idea, for these things

https://mapzen.com/products/

Mapzen utilizes data from OpenStreetMaps & LOJIC, giving a certain fidelity to the data that we would not get from another service. We could pull directly from LOJIC, but due to unfamiliarity with the ESRI ArcGIS API, and lack of domain knowledge around GIS & web development, I think Mapzen is a good solution.

Geospatial queries outside of geocoding will also need to occur. Need to stand up https://github.com/tobinbradley/dirt-simple-postgis-http-api , perhaps on Lambda?

This will need to be re-scoped, as MapZen has closed :-1:
