I'm working on an app that requires a forward geocoder with autocomplete, so I've been experimenting with putting OSM data (US only for now) into Elasticsearch. There's still a lot to do, but it's ready to play with, so I figured I'd share the demo: http://mapzen.com/pelias/
This uses Quattroshapes & Geonames for the admin hierarchy. OSM streets, addresses, and POIs get reverse geocoded into the hierarchy. There are three endpoints which we'd like to make widely available in the future, but for now these are for testing only & might break/change/vanish at any moment: Suggestions (works pretty well) http://api-pelias-test.mapzen.com/suggest?query=brook Reverse (works okay) http://api-pelias-test.mapzen.com/reverse?lat=40.68685&lng=-73.9885 Search (needs work!) http://api-pelias-test.mapzen.com/search?query=1369%20coffee%20house%20cambridge Would love feedback, suggestions, help, etc! -Randy _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
