## Location lookup (Geocoding) backends
* weatherstack provides weather lookup by place name directly, and does not need further configuration.
* Dark Sky and OpenStreetMap backends use a separate service to translate place names into GPS coordinates, a process known as **geocoding**.
* OpenStreetMap, WWIS, and Dark Sky backends use a separate service to translate place names into GPS coordinates, a process known as **geocoding**.
The default geocoding backend is [OpenStreetMap's Nominatim](https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/); this can be configured via the `plugins.NuWeather.geocodeBackend` option.
Other options include [Google Maps](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start) and [OpenCage](https://opencagedata.com/).
These may provide more relevant results for North America (e.g. US ZIP codes), but both require API keys: [Google Maps](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/get-api-key) (credit card required) | [OpenCage](https://opencagedata.com/api)
