Hello World, I would like to ask some recommendation.
I previously used MapBox, but as far as I researched and tried, I can only used Major City Names inputs and Coordinates for real time searching.
But my client want a Google Search Engine-ish behavior wherein you can input “word-per-word” of your target address and it will also show drop-down recommendations.
I will type something like “block-15 lot-22…” then it will have a drop-down suggestion until I got my target address…
Thank you.
You should look into Google Map‘s and OpenStreetMap‘s SDK docs. If they don‘t provide a feature to search for an address it‘s unlikely you‘ll find this anywhere else. Also check whether this is a paid service, it may not be free or the searches may be quite limited per app or user.
As far as my experience goes I know a rail service app making their stations searchable and navigable with a regular map display underlaying it. You could also search for an address and they will add the walking distance. Pretty sure they use OpenStreetMaps.
What you are looking for is often referred to as a Address Validation API. There are different options available and most are paid services but for some there is a free plan available with limited number of requests per month.
There are also OpenSource/OpenData solutions such as https://openaddresses.io/ but that would require you to setup your own database and Web API to query that data.
