I need to solve a few problems for my city: 1. Search crossroads 2. Search pair of lat/lon from non structured text 3. Possibility to add a custom data

And it was my inspiration to create yet another geocoder.

Love the itch scratching motive! Crossroads and intersections is a nice idea - they are used quite a lot in American cities, from casual observation "at the corner of Pine and Union".

I imagine in some countries with different addressing systems, road intersections may be a primary means of locating things.
