Hi @d3roch4, the geocoding plugin does not work for web. We've discussed this briefly if we should implement this or not. Our main concern is that we need to find a service for the web support that can do the things we need (geocoding/reverse geocoding) but that is also free to use, reliable, stable, and accurate/good working. We will need to discuss this further and do a bit of research of what is possible and what not. We will look into this in the future, but I can not give you an estimated date when we will know more about this topic, or when we start implementing it.

@giorgio79, it's not a polite thing to send people to other plugins from our plugins GitHub page since we're working hard on our open source plugins.
The plugins you mentioned and also the documentation link of the geocoding page are paid options since you need an API key from Google which is not free as you can see here.

Before you start using the Geocoding API, you need a project with a billing account and the Geocoding API enabled. To learn more, see Set up in Cloud Console.

If you have any other idea or (free) solution I would gladly hear from you so we can try to support web too!

Hi @d3roch4 , I just made a proposal about this topic. It would help out a lot if you could read the #69 proposal and react to it.
The main problem is that in contrary to Android and Apples geocoding service, a geocoding web service is free to an extend, but paid if you exceed a certain request limit. This problem is all explained in the proposal, and it would help us out a lot if you could react to it!

Thanks in advance!
