[Users] heron viewer geosearch removed: Alternatives?

[Just van den Broecke]

Hi Robert,

Your question applies to the underlying namesearch webservice, not the 
widget I deduct:
http://research.geodan.nl/esdin/autocomplete/complete.php

This service (think that it combined Geonames.org and Nominatim data) 
was not related to Heron but to a specific research project now 
finalized (Cc:). There are now several options in Heron (and GeoExt) 
generic search widgets using WFS, Nominatim or OpenLS. See e.g.
http://lib.heron-mc.org/heron/latest/examples/namesearch/

best,

Just

PS your question would really belong to the Heron mailing list:
http://groups.google.com/group/geoext-viewer-devel?hl=en
Can you post future Heron-related questions there ?
