<div> We're already using nominatim for the web demo. This
can't be used for Android for several reasons. Or what
was the question :) ?</div>

<div><b>What are the reason?</b></div>
</span></div>

<div> You cannot use nominatim if you want <b>offline</b>
geocoding. This would mean to port nominatim to android is
impossible. If you want online geocoding then offline routing
is senseless too IMO. <br>
<br>
But using a graphhopper webservice from Android is easy: have
a look into the web project and copy & paste
GraphHopperWeb to your project and use it instead of
'GraphHopper.java'. Then, to use nominatim, you can use
NominatimGeocoder</div>

<div><strong>If you want to make an offline GPS you will need a
nominatim option, because requesting a user to tap on map
for getting a route is not so right.</strong></div>
</div>

<br>
Of course, getting the route from an address will be added later:<br>

Did you ever try to setup nominatim on a normal linux box?<br>
...<br>
Feel free to do it. I won't :) ! <br>
