Will have to do some more testing I guess.
I had a quick look into POI API and it does have some interesting aspects. For example, it supports autocomplete and looks for names as well as types while you type (if I figured it right). Which is a good idea and may help me with unifying search and nearby functionality. I will just have to think how to use it properly and hook it into the main logic.

So, after sleeping on it, I would suggest to have geocoder API as it is and POI separate, for HERE as well. For POI, it should be API that is restricted to current plugin hooks - aka no autocomplete as for now. When it all lands in master, I will look into how to add autocomplete and unify the search with nearby functionality. It may require few iterations, but I think we will get there and without temporary hacks.
