The user needs to be able to filter the various Shops on the map based on the ZIP code so that she's not lost on a map full of markers #169

Today, the map is filled with fake data and only contains a few Shops. Tomorrow, the map will be filled with a lot of Shops and finding the closest ones to the user's location might be tricky, especially without GPS enabled. Until we enable GPS location from mobile devices, we need a work-around, where the user could just enter her ZIP code and the map would then center on the corresponding village or on the closest Shop to that ZIP code.

Nominatim seems to solve this use case. However, it does not seem to have any way to measure distance between two points.

This is the first step before solving #172.
