Nominatim Locator Filter Plugin icon

Plugin ID: 1447
(22) votes 

This is a plugin which adds an (extra) Nominatim Locator Filter (Geocoder) to QGIS

Nominatim is a free Geocoder service provided by the OpenStreetMap project.

A Locator Filter implements the fetching of data from internal or external sources.

NOTE that the core functionality of this plugin is now also in the core of QGIS using the > prefix.
So to use the core QGIS Nominatim Locator you type "> artis" to search for 'artis'

This plugin has some extra features.

Because it is *NOT* allowed to use the Nominatim service as a 'search as you type' service,
see: Nominatim Usage Policy, the locator will not fire a request unless you end your string with a space or enter.
So type "osm artis " (note the ending space).

Some other tricks:

To do a local search (so only within current mapcanvas extent), use & in front of your search term.
So type "osm &artis " (note the ampersand and the ending space) when only Zoomed in on France OR on The Netherlands and see the difference.

Nominatim itself also has some tricks: for example you can add a country code to your search term to ONLY search in that country.
See "osm &artis nl" versus "osm &artis fr" (to see artis in The Netherlands or in France)

The icons used are from the nominatim-ui project
