Gominatim - Go library to access nominatim geocoding services

Geocoding? WTF?

If you want to determine the coordinates of a certain location by only having its
name, you can do this via a geocoding service. If you want to do this in go, you
probably want to use gominatim to do it.

Features

The plan is to cover everything, this site documents:
Nominatim Wiki (Please also refer to this
wikipage if you plan to use the nominatim service of openstreetmaps. If you plan to generate
high loads with geoqueries, it would be nice if you did it on your own infrastructure, not on
their server)

• Search
• Reverese Geocoding

Usage of the Openstreetmaps-Nominatim Server

Please refer to the Nominatim Wiki

Examples

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/grindhold/gominatim"
)

func main() {
    gominatim.SetServer("http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/")

    //Get by a Querystring
    qry := new(gominatim.SearchQuery)
    qry.Q = "Hamburg"
    resp, _ := qry.Get() // Returns []gominatim.Result
    fmt.Printf("Found location: %s (%s, %s)\n", resp[0].DisplayName, resp[0].Lat, resp[0].Lon)

    //Get by City
    qry = &gominatim.SearchQuery{
        City: "Berlin",
    }
    resp, _ = qry.Get()
    fmt.Printf("Found location: %s (%s, %s)\n", resp[0].DisplayName, resp[0].Lat, resp[0].Lon)

    //Reverse Geocoding
    rqry := new(gominatim.ReverseQuery)
    rqry.Lat = "52.5170365"
    rqry.Lon = "13.3888599"
    rresp, _ := rqry.Get()
    fmt.Printf("Found %s\n", rresp.DisplayName)
