Takes a couple of days to set it up but the results are amazing. We also have setup the Geo coding and reverse Geo coding with nominatim. A million requests per day costs us peanuts as opposed to Google , which anyway suspended us due to international credit card verification issues.
On a related note, Firefox on Linux came with duckduckgo as default and I am so impressed with it's search results. Unfortunately their API does not return the same quality of results
- kyrra 8y agoI'd be interested in hearing what issues you've had with adding a card on Google's platform. There is a chance you could diagnose it yourself by trying to add it, then contacting your bank and asking why the authorization was declined.
- ganeshkrishnan 8y agoI dont think I should be chasing up my bank on why authorization failed. I have zero interest in using google maps for my production environment
- kyrra 8y ago(I'm a software engineer on Google's payments platform) I'm sorry you've had problems adding your card. If there is a systematic problem with some bank, I can sometimes do something about it (but no guarantees). I've added my work email to my HN profile, incase you want to reach out to me.
- SyneRyder 8y agoI'm upvoting this one as Kyrra works at Google on payments, according to Kyrra's profile. (That wasn't immediately clear to me from the comment.)
