Looks interesting. It would be usable for me if it also gave the OSM-NodeID in addition to Lat+Lon. Then it would be usable to allow routing over maps that have not been downloaded yet. (Use-case: User wants to drive somewhere but does not yet have the map for that area, search for destination works because of a fallback to the NameFinder. Routing works too due to online-routing and then downloading a corridor around the returned route and calculating the route again to optimize for the metric chosen by the user.)
