 Nominatim
 =========
 
 Nominatim (from the Latin, 'by name') is a tool to search OpenStreetMap data
 by name and address (geocoding) and to generate synthetic addresses of
 OSM points (reverse geocoding). An instance with up-to-date data can be found
-at http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org. Nominatim is also used as one of the
-sources for the Search box on the OpenStreetMap home page and powers the search
-on the MapQuest Open Initiative websites.
