- nunez 5y agofuck that's insane
- LordHeini 5y agoWe have a similar problem. Care to explain how you replaced Google?
- agencies 5y agoYeah I'd be curious what both your and parent's use cases are that could possibly be covered by other smaller, existing maps services, or if there is some market that remains underserved.
- LordHeini 5y agoBasically we want to show a bunch of pois around a real estate (like the nearest super market, airport and so on). We build a service calculating those but have trouble getting the data. It is more of a nice gimmick for us. Since the pricing changes using Google maps apis is just prohibitively expensive. There are other companies providing the data but those too are somewhat costly. Maybe we should use open street map as a data source.
- agencies 5y agoYeah osm definitely has some of that data. Email is in my bio if you want to chat more.
