Implement OSM equivalent for the google geolocator for reverse geo location #41

The javascript function reverseGeocode() still uses the google maps API for reverse geo locating. I fixed related js errors by checking if the required objects exists. What we really need though is a OSM euivalent for this. Maybe we can use http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim.

Thanks for discovering this, I guess this is a problem with inheriting a code base, you never know where the hacks and 'wrong' code is buried. I would like to work on this with you, maybe we could plan a joint hacking session over a few hours one evening soon?

Yes, we can go that soon. I think it should be straight forward.

Cool, can we schedule a time where we can both hack on it, or will you JDFI?
