Photon Geocoding

[martin-mito]

Geocoding with Nominatim is not that great in my opinion. I just want to discuss with you if it would make sense to replace it with Photon?

I am not so familiar with the differences between the two geocoders, but Photon seems to be more user friendly with better typo tolerance and typeahead suggestions.

We are definitely looking forward to improving the search/geocoding situation. I will take a look at the project and see how viable it is to implement in addition to the Nominatim engine. Low priority for now but 100% on our roadmap :+1:
