I currently really don't want to use the locator branch, due to it's 
speed. I need already about 12 hours to compute all maps for weekly 
updates and osm data alone growing is already a concern. Wouldn't it be 
enough to use no guessing and just input correct addresses (best with 
working housenumber search)? The searching for streets not addresses is 
anyhow kinda strange and seems much more like a workaround than a clean 
solution.
