OpenRouteService modules

Open ric2016 opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

There are two modules with the same name "OpenRouteService". This is confusing.

Should they be merged into a single module? They seem to have the same configuration options (API key) anyway.

From their descriptions, it's also not clear what they actually accomplish. They implement ModuleMapGeoLocationInterface and ModuleMapAutocompleteInterface respectively, which both have the same method 'searchPlaceNames'. A bit more documentation would be helpful.

The "Geonames" module is listed twice as well. I also think it is confusing, because the descriptions are different, but the settings for the two modules seem to be identical. I am wondering if there is a difference in the functionality?

GeoNames twice

Placenames - this is used when you type a previously unused place name into a place field, and it autosuggests possible matches.

Locations - this is used on the "manage locations" page to find the latitude/longitude of a named place.

I suggest to put these explanations into the module descriptions.
