In maps 0.1.0, we have support for search of administrative divisions (cities, counties, regions, countries more or less - depends on country subdivision schema).
Do we wanna support:
- search for streets?
- search for natural places? (lakes, mountains, ...)
The potential problem regarding the streets is that it will inevitably grow the ZIM (not sure how much) and it does not seems that easy to find a free dataset of "name, lat, long". Maybe we can reuse Nominatim dataset or logic to create our own pre-processed dataset.
The potential problem with natural places it to make a distinction between relevant and un-relevant places, we tend to find tons of stuff. Geonames has most of this data, but we end up we tons of things, with a significant potential for noise in search results (especially since we rely on natural ZIM search which doesn't support specifying which type of "thing" you are searching for).
