  • photon

    an open source geocoder for openstreetmap data (by komoot)

    • Acastus-Photon is an Android app that allows you to search up any address or point of interest on OpenStreetMaps and open it in OsmAnd or any other maps app. It relies on photon as it's open-source backend server (provides elasticsearch for OSM), so you can either use a public instance or self-host. This allows you to have search functionality as powerful as Google Maps whilst being able to use solely open-source software instead.
