Let the user select search results from the origin and destination fields
Currently, the directions panel’s origin and destination fields allow the user to input a Nominatim query, but pressing Enter simply resolves to the top result; the user never gets a chance to choose any other results. A typical directions interface would pop open a minimalistic list of search results (such as what the browser would provide with a <datalist>) for the user to choose from. The Valhalla and Openrouteservice demo applications already have this functionality. Since Nominatim doesn’t provide autocompletion out of the box, this list would only show up when pressing Enter if there are multiple results.
