location search

design

• make a rest request to a geocoding server
• put the response into a listview model
• once selected, fly there

geocoding is the name for going from place name -> lat / long

not all services allow for autocompletion (i.e., osm Nominatim does not)

service providers

• osmnames (free, but needs setup)
• positionstack (paid, needs registration, free for small number of requests)
• google api
• nominatim (osm, no auto completion, but links to several others. nominatim might be usable for a demo)
• locationiq (commercial, but def autocomplete, and seems to be a nice api. maybe better for demo)
