Geocoder with Nominatim

Yes very likely. Write a geocoder plugin!

It's not currently planned for. Check out /plugins/geocoder_handler/ for some examples

Here's a plugin for MapQuest's implementation of Nominatim.

Whoops, spaces need to be converted to "+" before sending the request. New patch attached.

Actually, on second look, the problem with the earlier patch was urlencode() on the address, which happens within drupal_http_build_query() already. This patch should work anyway.

Thanks! This has been committed at 1f719d9c152de56885784bdaf7f434c5241df395

Don't know whether it is okay to post this here, when issue is marked as fixed, but thought it might reach the right people.

Is there any way to use the reverse-geocoding function as per the example below, with this handler?

Or is it affected by any of the issues mentioned in http://drupal.org/node/1334838#comment-5673206 ?

Thank you all for the good work with geocoder.

HI PDR,

There is an issue open here asking for general reverse-geocoding support: #1461164: Reverse-Geocode support

Perhaps you could drop your comments in there?

Whoops, left a dsm() in that last committed patch. I should've been more careful.

Thank you Lim for these patches
