Of course happy to answer any questions you have.
- me_me_mu_mu 5y agoThanks! I just checked out opencagedata and saw that the reverse geocoding gives me some out of date records. It worked for a few of my tests, but the rest were not as accurate. I'm getting the latlng from Google poi marker (using google maps mobile sdks), and requested that position in your online demo. Unfortunately the result doesn't match with what's on the map :( However, I think I can definitely check out opencagedata for some other use cases which do not require that level of precision. Do you have any suggestions for how to deal with places? With the google maps sdk, I can get a placeID, name, and position. However, the name is usually wonky and requires me to hit the places details API to get the correct name and address. I tried by passing the position to opencagedata reverse geocode, but the results don't match the POI/details. Thank you
- freyfogle 5y agoHappy to look into specific cases if you share the details: https://opencagedata.com/contact https://opencagedata.com/contact re: Places - to my knowledge no one has a product equivalent to Google's in terms of size and freshness of the database. Sorry.
