The installation instructions are on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Installation Note that part about hardware requirements before you attempt to run in on an underpowered desktop or laptop or in a virtual machine. marc tobias

We have used following API to get the reverse geocoding information but it has usage limitation: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml <http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml&lat=25.236545&lon=55. 291413&zoom=18&addressdetails=1> &lat=25.236545&lon=55.291413&zoom=18&addressdetails=1 Then we tried using following MapQuest API but it gives wrong address. Instead of Dubai address it's showing Sharjah address: http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/search.php?q=25.236545%2C+55.291413 <http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/search.php?q=25.236545%2C+55.29141 3&viewbox=-0.61%2C51.49%2C-0.59%2C51.48> &viewbox=-0.61%2C51.49%2C-0.59%2C51.48 So now we are trying to setup our own Reverse Geocoding Database. Pls let us know how to setup our own reverse geocoding database to get the correct address using a latitude and longitude coordinates using OSM Extracts Data. Your help in this regard will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation of a fruitful reply. Best regards Sumit Gulati
