Be able to type your home address instead of selecting it on the map

Investigate whether there is an open and free Geocoding API for this, but it would greatly simplify the Gladys installation process:

Edit: I have the impression that this API ( https://geocode.maps.co/ ) does the job without an API key:

https://geocode.maps.co/search?q=66%20avenue%20des%20champs%20%C3%A9lys%C3%A9es%2075008%20Paris

I use this one to retrieve past Tesla data. But there is an API key: Openroute service

It must work without an API key — we’re not going to ask the user to enter an API key while they’re installing Gladys :slight_smile:

I use geocode in one of my web projects, it works pretty well but, like all services with postal addresses, it’s sometimes not updated quickly (cadastral changes etc…)
So for me I have Geocode + a map to define an address as accurately as possible.

Yes, I figured ^^

  • I originally thought of a generic API key to begin with ^^
  • But there’s also the On-Premise version — the bundle is light enough just for localization. (HeiGIT Account)

Otherwise Teslamate uses OpenStreetMap

So your topic gave me a crazy idea:
« Gladys prepares everything for the 6:30 commute to work with Tahiti. I need to stop by the usual bakery on the way »:

  • 05:30 coffee
  • 06:00 hot shower
  • 06:30 warm car and route on the car’s dashboard (the best route for that time will be chosen by the car) incorporating the stop at the bakery.

:sweat_smile:
