NominatimKit is a Swift wrapper for forward and reverse geocoding of OpenStreetMap data. 

**Why?** Geocoding location data on iOS requires the use of CoreLocation and the user's permission to access location data. This permission if often not given. Even worse so, CLGeocoder can be [quite inaccurate](https://medium.com/@enricopiovesan/tutorial-geocoding-with-swift-4-7ef378778377#cb52). If you want a lightweight and more reliable solution to geocode addressess and coordinates, NominatimKit comes to the rescue.

**How?** Nominatim is a search engine for OpenStreetMap data. NominatimKit uses the free Nominatim API to gather location data for specific geo coordinates or any free text query (i.e. addresses or landmarks).

## Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run `pod install` from the Example directory first.

## Installation

Nominatim is available through [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org). To install

it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

```

pod 'Nominatim'

```

## Usage

Search for Addresses

```

Nominatim.getLocation(fromAddress: "Stephansplatz, 1010 Vienna, Austria", completion: {(error, location) -> Void in

      print("Geolocation of the Royal Palace of Stockholm:")

      print("lat = " + (location?.latitude)! + "   lon = " + (location?.longitude)!)

    })

```

Search for Landmarks

```

Nominatim.getLocation(fromAddress: "The Royal Palace of Stockholm", completion: {(error, location) -> Void in

      print("Geolocation of the Royal Palace of Stockholm:")

      print("lat = " + (location?.latitude)! + "   lon = " + (location?.longitude)!)

    })

```

Search with Latitude and Longitude

```

Nominatim.getLocation(fromLatitude: "55.6867243", longitude: "12.5700724", completion: {(error, location) -> Void in

      print("City for geolocation 55.6867243/12.5700724:")

      print(location?.city)

    })

```
