alt Hacker NewsThank you! And yes, Corviont is intentionally a stack of separable services behind one gateway - so "geocoder-only" is exactly the kind of config I want to support (skip PMTiles + Valhalla and ship only the SQLite index + reverse API).
Re: Weathergraph - thanks for the details. Since you already run whole-world reverse geocoding on a single server, that's a bit different from Corviont's current regional/fleet packaging (where you ship only the area you need to each edge/on-prem deployment). A "world geocoder-only" pack could still make sense - but it's a different distribution/update story than my default.
For your use case, do you want reverse results at the city/region/country level - or do you also need street/house number detail? That choice mostly determines how heavy a world geocoder-only pack needs to be.
Thanks for reply! It’s great to hear it’s configurable.
I didn’t realize how many use cases are there - you guessed right that for my use the whole world, but only up to city level, is quite enough.
In my todo list I have adding landmarks, so that I could eg. show a nearby mountain when outdoors and far away from city, but then deciding which POI types to include gets much trickier.
