nl_free: Free geocoding search

In nlgeocoder: Geocoding for the Netherlands

Description

This function wraps the "free" pdok service, and allows for free search. For syntax and examples see the documentation of pdok. A more easy/convenient but simpler function for geocoding is nl_geocode.

Usage

nl_free(q, rows = NULL, start = NULL, fq = NULL, lat = NULL,
  lon = NULL, type = NULL, fl = NULL, df = NULL, ...,
  verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

q	query to geocoding service.
rows	maximum number of rows to be returned. Default is 10.
start	start index.Default is 0.
fq	apply a filter to the query, e.g. fq=bron:BAG. The default filter is 'type:(municipality OR town OR neiborhood OR road OR postcode OR adress)'. Use fq=* to remove the default filter.
lat	enter a decimal degree (latitude, in WGS84). Together with lon this will define a point to search from. Search results will be ordered by distance from this point. For example: 'lat=52.09&lon=5.12'
lon	enter a decimal degree (longitude, in WGS84). Together with lat this will define point to search from. Search results will be ordered by distance from this point. For example: 'lat=52.09&lon=5.12'
type	restrict the results on a specific type.
fl	fields to return.
df	field that should be search in.
...	parameters passed to the pdok webservice
verbose	logical should the function print out messages.
