Any reason why you wouldn't self host your tiles using something like open map tiles?[0] If you're geocoding mostly US addresses it's actually not impossible to roll your own geocoder* . If you're insane enough, I'm sure you could find some German spatial data and follow along with how the TIGER geocoder loads and normalizes information if you wanted to run an entire GIS operation in-house.

- snarfy 8y agoIt makes sense if it's your core competency, but when it's not it's usually worth it to pay someone else to deal with it, like email.
