Some exciting Indian 🇮🇳 addressing news - recently India Post has announced the launch of DIGIPIN - 10-digit alphanumeric codes (12 characters when the two dashes are included) corresponding to 4mx4m squares.

We have added DIGIPIN as a new annotation in our geocoding results and also support searching for DIGIPINs

Falls ein Wesen hier mal einen #Photon Server bzw. nen #API Endpunkt braucht - ich betreibe einen bei mir.
Einfach fragen, bekommt ihr dann.

Mit weltweiten Kartendaten.
Also das ganz dicke Ding.

Klar, kann jeder selber hosten, aber nicht jeder will halt 400GB Daten auf SSD dafür opfern.

Ich brauch den für meinen #Dawarich Server.

Casually reading USPS address standards (because #geocoding) and hilariously the interpretation of an address depends on the true address. Rude.

Geocoding APIs compared: Pricing, free tiers and terms of use | Hacker News

Geocoding APIs 比較:價格、免費使用額度與使用條款
https://bitoff.org/geocoding-apis-compared-pricing-free-tiers-and-terms-of-use

📌 Summary:
本文詳細比較多種主流地理編碼(Geocoding)API的價格結構、免費使用額度以及使用條款,幫助開發者根據需求挑選最合適的服務。地理編碼指的是將地址轉換成經緯度座標的過程,反向地理編碼則是將座標轉換成地址。除價格外,文章提醒使用者特別注意資料使用權限,如是否允許商業用途、是否須標示來源,也強調準確度與效能對實務應用的重要性。本文由 Superface 提供中立比較,並介紹其 OneSDK API客戶端,能同時串接多家API,免去維護多個介面的麻煩。市場上主要供應商包括 HERE、Google Maps、Azure Maps、OpenCage、LocationIQ、TomTom、Nominatim 等,各有免費額度與定價差異。作者並指出不同API的使用限制與彈性,例如 OpenCage 和 LocationIQ 的訂閱制方案較適合穩定流量,TomTom 則適合用量不固定,Nominatim 為開源方案但不宜商業使用。此外,API準確度、更新頻率、緩存政策、資料保存等均影響選擇。文末也探討自建解決方案和開源地理編碼工具的可行性及限制。

🎯 Key Points:
→ 地理編碼定義:將地址轉換為經緯度;反向地理編碼是將座標轉換成地址。
→ API 比較重點:價格(依使用量計費、免費額度)、使用限制(商業使用、資料保存與重複散播限制、是否需標示來源)、準確度、效能。
→ Superface OneSDK:提供一個中立平臺,一次串接多家API,可靈活切換,減少管理複雜度。
→ 主要供應商分析:
 ★ HERE:30,000次/月免費,逐步收費,最高可達 10M 請求才有較低單價,適合大量使用。
 ★ Google Maps:40,000次/月免費(200美金額度),價格昂貴且限制多,如必須使用Google地圖展示且標示Logo。
 ★ Azure Maps:免費5,000次/月,單價高($4.5/千次),速率限制嚴格。
 ★ OpenCage:提供訂閱及一次性購買方案,彈性及價格合理,適合測試與商業用途,允許無限保存資料。
 ★ LocationIQ:免費額度較大,月訂閱費用較低且高使用量方案價格優勢明顯,商用必須標示連結。
 ★ TomTom:免費2,500次/日,無需訂閱,適合用量不穩定且預算有限的專案。
 ★ Nominatim:基於開源OpenStreetMap資料,適合小量非商業用途,無法保證數據完整度和準確度。
→ 價格比較:以月請求量計,中低用量下 HERE 及 TomTom 方案相對划算,高用量時 OpenCage 與 LocationIQ 以訂閱制更具成本效益。Google 與 Azure 價格最高且限制多。
→ 資料儲存問題:Google等多數API禁止永久保存和重複分發;OpenCage 許可長期保存資料。
→ 準確度與資料完整性:OpenStreetMap 資料在部分區域不完整,商用需求建議加用其他資料源。
→ 自建方案:像 Nominatim 可本地部署,但需大量硬體資源且可能資料不完整。
→ 實務應用:需考量API回應速度、準確度、成本與使用條款,選擇契合專案需求的方案。

We used #Photon and #Nominatim #geocoding services to convert the textual place names into geographical locations and aggregated them on the #NUTS and #LAU levels to support usability of our data.

Geocoding the data was not simple. Many place names were entered into the Erasmus+ database manually resulting in diverse place names containing national spellings, typographical mistakes, character encoding errors, and national scripts, which required manual corrections.

Geocoding is ridiculously hard to code.

For example 'Paris' should list the streetname in your area, but also the city in france.

With current settings, it's either world-wide OR local.

We have an idea to fix this:

When searching, use the 'proximity' function and list local places, BUT leave the first result open for world-wide locations.

It's just a brainfart, but we might get this done to hugely improve our search-function. 😊

Just to be sure, now that Komoot has been sold … 🙄

Because yeah, while most of you are afraid of losing the routes available on the platform, I'm afraid of losing a great geolocator (and also the one we're using for business).
