The Osm.org Routing Demo does exactly this by sending a JSONP request to Nominatim. You can grab a tarball and look in yours.js. If Nominatim returns more than one result, the first one is used. It has a number of drawbacks. For example, when searching for a large city, the first result may be a border that is quite far from the actual city center. answered 31 Oct '10, 23:22  Nic Roets edited 01 Nov '10, 00:37 |
Your problem is called geocoding and there are various tools and APIs which can help you with that. You could use Nominatim, I guess, or see e.g. Yahoo! PlaceFinder. answered 28 Oct '10, 17:13  Mormegil Hi ,thanks for the reply Do you have any example related to open layer. (29 Oct '10, 10:21) Vivek Kumar |
