Geocode an address
The geolocalisation service allows to search for features around a earth location. you can Specify GPS position, Limit the results to a specific place type (e.g : search all monuments around a point), Limit the results to a specified radius, Paginate the results, Tells if you want the output to be indented (currently, applies only for XML, not JSON for performance reasons. May change in next version)
Query parameters
The latitude (north-south) for the location point to search around. The value is a floating number, between -90 and +90. It uses GPS coordinates
TThe longitude (east-West) for the location point to search around. The value is a floating number between -180 and +180. It uses GPS coordinates.
distance from the location point in meters we'd like to search around. The value is a number > 0 if it is not specify or incorrect.
Whether (or not) we want the distance field to be output. This option is useful to improve the performance if we don't care about the distance (e.g : we search for name). Of course, the results won't be sorted by distance. If you use a checkbox in a form to indent the results, the value will be 'on' or 'off', so to simplify the use : the value for the web service can be 'true' or 'on'
filter search for a given placetype
