This seems like an awful lot of complication...

It seems to me that we have the option of either allowing the user to input 
freetext, or of generating something from the location with Nominatim but this 
tries to do both at once which just makes things very complicated and probably 
quite confusing.

How often does nomination actually manage to match? I don't see any 
indication of zoom on the reverse geocode, and you're just taking the last 
name, so how likely is it that will match what the user entered even if they 
are trying to be accurate? Are we just going to wind up telling everybody their 
location doesn't match?
