I check it, it seems it can found my village, so, it is working :) As I can
see, the licensing is CC and there are some limits (2000 request per hour,

It should be an option to upload our own geo database, which also could include
street names too. In Hungary it is possible to access to a free database, which
contains the fresh information.
