6 Nominatim (from the Latin, 'by name') is a tool to search OpenStreetMap data
7 by name and address (geocoding) and to generate synthetic addresses of
8 OSM points (reverse geocoding). An instance with up-to-date data can be found
9 at http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org. Nominatim is also used as one of the
10 sources for the Search box on the OpenStreetMap home page and powers the search
11 on the MapQuest Open Initiative websites.
16 More information about Nominatim, including usage and installation instructions,
17 can be found in the docs/ subdirectory and in the OSM wiki at:
