Hi!I'm trying to build a autocompletion name lookup for a HTML5-based cycle map. Is there any API where you can make wildcard nominatim-style lookups?
For exempel "Bre*" would return "Bremen", "Brenner" etc. I will limit my queries by bbox, but other sorting and limiting, like sorting by distance to a given point, or place category, would be useful.
I have my own database, so I'm fine with installing my own instance of the API if server load would be too high otherwise. Just prefer not re-inventing the wheel if it's already there (not much found by google).
Probably somewhat like http://oegeo.wordpress.com/2010/11/08/a-better-search-field-for-openstreetmap/ Seem to be suggested in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Version2 but I see no indication of that being implemented ... best regards Per Eric -- ^): Per Eric Rosén http://rosnix.net/~per/ / [email protected] · [email protected] · 0709-461000 GPG 7A7A BD68 ADC0 01E1 F560 79FD 33D1 1EC3 1EBB 7311
