I'm working on implementing location awareness for identi.ca, and this effort requires maps and geocoding (at least forward - reverse geocoding would be nice too). I looked over http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OpenRouteService and there is a reference to the geocoder, but no documentation on how, or even if, I can use it. So I looked at the main site, and reverse engineered (using Firebug, it was trivial) how to make geocoder calls.
The interface seems to be that you post to http://data.giub.uni-bonn.de/openrouteservice/php/OpenLSLUS_Geocode.php with the parameter "FreeFormAdress" set to the address, and MaxResponse set accordingly. Is that the service I should use? Is there a JSON one, or any other formats? Is there a different URL I should use? What about consideration of the number of requests? Also, is there a reverse geocoder? Thank you! ~Craig _______________________________________________ Laconica-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.laconi.ca/mailman/listinfo/laconica-dev
