Setup
Issue
For the "openlayers" input type no field for looking up coordinates is provided. It will be nice to have this feature as it is provided by the "googlemaps" input type.
That's true, although it's not a bug - the "openlayers" input doesn't provide such a field because I couldn't find a good free geocoding service. This could count as a feature request, though.
Ah, ok, did not know this. So the situation is different. Actually never tried this ever before. Hmm, that makes the input type pretty much unusable for regular users. Indeed this will be a great feature for wikis what do not want to rely on Google Maps. Thumbs up.
I just amended my task description to be a feature request. Hopefully a service will be around for this sooner than later.
This has finally been implemented now, and it only took two years...
@Mikael - thanks for the good advice.
