Custom Geocoder and input

CesiumJS
1

1. A concise explanation of the problem you’re experiencing.

I am trying to run the Custom Geocoder that is in Sandcastle…

However, it never works.

This is because the minute I enter anything into the search box, the Geocoder starts running, while the query term is still incomplete.

2. A minimal code example. If you’ve found a bug, this helps us reproduce and repair it.

For example, if I try to enter “San Francisco”, I need to type extra fast, but still I only get “San F” before the following code runs:

OpenStreetMapNominatimGeocoder.prototype.geocode = function (input) {

var endpoint = 'https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?’;

var query = ‘format=json&q=’ + input;

var requestString = enpoint + query;

So the result says “not found” because there is no city named San F.

3. Context. Why do you need to do this? We might know a better way to accomplish your goal.

I need to implement a custom geocoder, using the Cesium input box.

Ideally I would like to adapt to Google API Geocoder.

4. The Cesium version you’re using, your operating system and browser.

I am using Cesium 1.38, with Google Chrome 61 on mac (64 bit)

Thanks for any help!!

Ha, after not getting any replies, I searched and searched the forum, and finally found the answer, which is the “https” vs. “http” problem in the Sandcastle example.
So consider this closed.

I am hoping to hook up a Google geocoder. We’ll see if I can make it work :slight_smile:

Hi Martine,

Sorry for not responding fast! The https issue has been addressed and will be fixed in the next Cesium release.

Good luck with the Google API geocoder!

Thanks,
