a address/town/streets search is already implemented in my local copy of
gpsdrive. it's mostly working but there are still some issues. as my time is
very limited at the moment, this will take some time...

my new search includes the following search types:
- place (center)
- street crossing
- street (without number, as this is a very new feature in osm)
this is all possible with current osm data and without changing the database.
my goal is to provide an easy search to get a destination position, so someone
else can do the routing from the data ;-)
