Anyone able to suggest a free approach to pull up GPS coordinates based on an address search for an OSM/leaflet.js based app?

- berkes 6y agoAre you looking for something self-hosted? Because there are tons (and tons) of SAAS "geocoding" services around already. If self-hosting, have a look at this https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Search_engines https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Search_engines overview. I'm biased (I help with the development and build my latest project on top of it), but I love mimirsbrunn https://github.com/CanalTP/mimirsbrunn https://github.com/CanalTP/mimirsbrunn. Mostly because it is fast, small and relatively easy to deploy (courtesy to Rust). It uses an old (2.x) elasticsearch as backend, so that is a major downside.
