I'm working on a geocoding project using the plugin in MMQGIS QGis, and I want to use OpenStreetMap data in this project.

I have already downloaded the data of my country and I converted to .CSV files, the problem is that the file contain roads and street names (no province, city or country) so how to configure this data to use them?

knowing that the fields of the province, city or country are obligatory to geocode my data.

In my opinion it makes little sense to try use OSM data with the MMQGIS geocoder since the geocoder was designed for completely different data.

On the other hand, services like Nominatim already do really good geocoding with OSM.

    ... also have a look at wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Search_engines for more services / features for OSM-based geocoding. – stephan75 Mar 16 '15 at 20:03
