[OSM-talk] photon

[Christoph Lingg | komoot]

Dear all,

we want to let you know that we have just released version 0.1 of photon. It is a geocoder based upon elasticsearch, features we provide already are:

 - Typeahead suggestion
 - Fast responses
 - Scalability
 - Multilingual
 - Typo tolerance
 - Minutely up to date OSM data
 - Easy setup

There are prepared dumps available, which makes it very simple to setup your own instance. But we provide also a public API available on our product page: http://photon.komoot.de . More technical information is available on our github page: https://github.com/komoot/photon

Give it a try and let us know what you think about it!

Cheers,
Christoph
