Version

Please specify what version of the library you are using: [1..0.18]

Expected / Desired Behavior / Question

The Map control uses OpenStreetMap.org's nominatim web service to perform searches and get location data. This returns a display name and can return address details.

SharePoint "Location" fields could use this data - albeit in a slightly different format.

Let's return this data along with the coordinates.

Observed Behavior

Only coordinates are returned by the Map.

Steps to Reproduce

Build an SPFx web part, hook up the Map control. Try and use the returned data to make a suitable value for a SharePoint Location field. Observe you could really use more data if it's there.
