A place on a map

"The streetlight by the playground" cannot be typed into an address field — but it can be pointed at. This guide asks one question per kind: a point, several points and a drawn area. Each answer becomes two variables — a line a person reads, and GeoJSON a system reads.

Flowweaver ships no map. The page connects its own — here Leaflet and OpenStreetMap — through a small provider contract, the same way a municipality connects the map service it already has. Without one, the question still works: a text field where the place is written in words.
