offline geocoding support

smatzis Public · Jul 28 2022

As the title says, could you please make APEX support geocoding without internet access.

I am thinking of supporting imports of osm map data…

We reviewed this idea carefully, and while it was interesting, we concluded that due to all the internal implications we need to take into account, it is not feasible in APEX.

    Geocoding address data always requires a reference data set. If geocoding is required to work also offline then the entire reference data set also needs to be stored locally. This is probably possible for a smaller region, but not at country level, or even larger regions.

    What´s probably feasible to be kept locally is the reference data set for geocoding using what3words. Unfortunately, I don´t know a source where this data is available for free.
